Miami moved to 10-2 after their 40-point victory over North Florida last Friday night. Norchad Omier had a big night for the Canes scoring 27 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

Clemson vs. Miami CBB Prediction:
Clemson looks to win their third straight, while Miami is in search of their fourth straight victory on Wednesday.
Take Clemson here. I believe the Tigers are the better team even with a full roster, but Miami may be without Poplar and Pack. Combined those two guys have averaged nearly 30 ppg, take them out of the lineup and I don’t see how Miami wins here.
If one or both do end up playing we may not get the best number, but I still like Tigers to win. Clemson has a strong backcourt with Joe Girard and Chase Hunter and have a stud underneath with PJ Hall. Miami has been overmatched this season when they have played a good team and I think that trend continues tonight. Give me the Tigers.
