Kenpom: #78 overall, #72 offense, #101 defense
The legendary Jared McCain is taking his talents to South Beach.
Norchad Omier is Miami's singular star, with NIL millionaire Nijel Pack having regressed since transferring from Kansas State last season. Omier averages 18 and 10, takes 64% of his shots around the rim, and makes 72% of those. He's not much of a passer or rim protector but his monster rebounding and efficient scoring make him good enough to be a star in college, like a poor man's Carlos Boozer, whose sons will likely be spurning Duke for this floundering Miami program.
Miami is the opposite of Duke's last opponent, FSU, when it comes to uglifying games with fouling. Miami's offense is #334 in the country in getting to the line and Miami's defense is #5 in the country at avoiding sending the opponent to the line. Should be a relatively pretty game to watch, aside from the 20 possessions used by the spin lord, Kyle Filipowski.
