Matchup Breakdown

North Florida Outlook

North Florida averages 72 points per game, with Kamrin Oriol leading at 17.5 points and 3.7 assists. Their perimeter shooting (18th nationally in threes made per game) highlights offensive potential, though their 0-8 road record underscores inconsistency. Their effective field goal percentage (53.4%) adds efficiency, but defensive struggles remain a concern.

Miami Outlook

Miami averages 88.2 points per game with Malik Reneau and Shelton Henderson providing scoring depth. Their shooting efficiency (52.0% FG, 13th nationally) and rebounding edge highlight balance. Their 8-1 home record and perfect mark as favorites underscore betting confidence. Henderson’s emergence adds another dimension to their offense.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

The game hinges on Miami’s ability to control tempo and maintain shooting efficiency, while North Florida must lean on Oriol and perimeter shooting to stay competitive. If Miami maintains rhythm, their depth should create separation.
