Miami vs. Indiana Predictions Ahead of Sunday's Round 2 Game

Before we get to the best bet from our Miami vs Indiana predictions for this matchup let's look at how we got to this point.

Miami struggled out of the gate in their matchup against Drake, shooting very poorly from the floor during the first half and went into halftime down five points. However, the second half was a completely different story, as they pulled off the seven-point win. Miami’s center Norchad Omier dominated on the glass, pulling down 14 rebounds, while Nijel Pack led the team in scoring with 21 points.

For the Hoosiers, their game was never in doubt against the #13 Kent State Golden Flashes. Indiana held an eight-point lead going into halftime and extended that lead in the second half on their way to an 11-point victory. Indiana’s Trayce Jackson-Davis had himself a big day, scoring 24 points with 11 rebounds, five assists and five blocks. The Hoosiers big man averaged nearly 21 points and 11 rebounds during the regular season.

Miami vs. Indiana NCAAB Picks and Best Bet

So, when it comes to the best bet from our Miami vs Indiana predictions for this matchup, we are going to go with the slight upset play by taking the #5 Hurricanes. However, we’ll play it a bit safer and take Miami +1.5 in case it truly comes down to the wire.

Although Miami started poorly against Drake, it was clearly a wake-up call for them, as they outpaced them 38-26 in the second half. That was primarily due to the performance of Miami’s center, Norchad Omier. He dominated on the glass, pulling down 14 rebounds. Meanwhile Nijel Pack led the team in scoring with 21 points.

It’s going to be a tough battle between Miami’s Omier and Indiana’s Jackson-Davis, but we like how Miami responded yesterday.
