Over on the Miami side, they won four straight games to open up the year. The Hurricanes took their lone loss to Maryland in game five, but since have beaten St. Francis BK, UCF, Rutgers and Louisville. 

On Sunday versus Louisville, the Hurricanes didn’t have much trouble. Miami was up 42-23 by halftime and went on to take an 80-53 win after 38 second-half points. Leading scorer Jordan Miller put up 14 points in the win. 

PICK: I’ll stay with Miami here. The Hurricanes are fresh off a nice performance versus Louisville, shooting 50 percent from the field with 39 rebounds and 18 team assists. Miami has scored 66 or more points in every game this year and should post a nice total in this one as well. As for Cornell, they’ve been playing great ball all year long themselves. The Big Red have scored 73 or more points in every one of their games. This one should be fairly high-scoring as well, but I don’t think Cornell will keep the cover pace.
