Miami OH vs SMU Predictions & Picks

Miami Ohio are tipped to cover as a betting underdog in the First Four.

The Redhawks are in good form despite that rough outing against Massachusetts, and they will have a home advantage against an SMU team that has not travelled well this season.

  • Miami OH are 31-1 this season
  • SMU are 1-5 in their previous 6 games
  • SMU are 5-10 in their 15 games played on the road or at a neutral venue
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of SMU’s previous 12 games

Head To Head

  • SMU lead the all-time series 2-0
  • SMU won 66-55 when the two teams last met in December 2003
