#748 ASA PLAY ON Stanford -10 over Miami FL, Wednesday at 11 PM ET - It looks like Miami may have thrown in the towel. The Canes have lost 13 of their last 14 games and just lost 117-74 at HOME vs SMU. Their head coach Jim Larranaga stepped down in late December and since he left the team they’ve lost 6 in a row with 5 of those losses coming by double digits. Their only non 10 point plus loss during that stretch was vs Va Tech who rates 170th nationally which is only ahead of Miami and BC in the ACC. Not only are they not winning, they aren’t covering with a spread record of 3-15 ATS on the season which is the 2nd worst mark in college basketball. They continue to play without their leading scorer Nijel Pack who has missed the last 8 games due to an injury. This is a tough spot for a struggling team making the long travel west for the first time this year and playing a game at 11 PM ET. Stanford has some really solid momentum coming off a win @ North Carolina on Saturday. The Cardinal have won 3 of their last 4 games and they have a 4-3 record in ACC play despite playing only 2 home conference games thus far, both double digit wins. They are 9-1 overall at home with 7 of those wins coming by 10+ points. Stanford is facing a terrible Miami defense that ranks 361st in opponents FG%, 364th (dead last) in opponent’s 3 point FG%, and 338th in scoring defense allowing 79 PPG. The Cardinal average 80 PPG at home and should top that number facing by far the worst defense they’ve seen in ACC play. Miami goes down big again.
