What the computers are saying about Miami vs. Boston College
The roller coaster ride that is this Miami Basketball season delivered a big high (the win over Clemson) and a big low (the loss at Georgia Tech). The Canes have three regular season games remaining, each crucial for ACC and NCAA Tournament seeding purposes. But the Canes don’t have to worry about that, it really don’t seem like the Hurricanes will make the NIT either.
Miami is currently twelve in the ACC standings. Pull off a big win over North Carolina and/or Boston College and then we can get out of the bubble in the ACC. Stumble again and you’ll certainly be playing during school.
However it is GameDay and you can not be sad on GameDay, so lets dive into what the computers are saying about the Miami Hurricanes taking on the Boston College Eagles.
