Miami vs Missouri Analysis

Mizzou is the lower seed, but it has a massive advantage playing in St. Louis. Tigers fans will pack the arena for a face-off with Miami’s first-year head coach, Jai Lucas.

Mizzou is a tough matchup for Miami because it can match the Canes’ physicality on the glass and interior. Mizzou has plenty of big bodies to throw at Malik Reneau, and Miami doesn’t have enough shooting to compensate.

Mark Mitchell is a matchup problem for anyone, and he should have a field day bullying his way to the hoop.

The Canes won’t necessarily exploit Mizzou’s suspect ball handling, putting another point in the Tigers’ favor.

I say Mizzou wins.

Pick: Missouri ML +112
