Missouri Tigers vs Miami Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 03/20/26

The Missouri Tigers ended up securing just a 10-seed, but the basketball gods shined down on the team, as they landed in the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, which is essentially a home game. Missouri suffered a 78-72 loss against Kentucky in its first game at the SEC Tournament, and the Tigers do head in with three consecutive losses. So, Mizzou does have a little bit of stink. Still, this is a team which has won 20 games, and it has a 6-4 against the spread (ATS) mark in the past 10 games. This is a Missouri team which also has scored wins over NCAA Tournament teams Howard, Prairie View A&M, Florida, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and Tennessee, so it is potent.

The Miami Hurricanes have to be angry with their placement, having to essentially play a road game. The U won against Louisville in the ACC Tournament before bowing out against Virginia, which ended up going to the championship game. There’s no shame in that. Miami has also displayed the ability to beat anybody, picking up wins over North Carolina, NC State and SMU, but it doesn’t necessarily have the same resume as Mizzou. Let’s take the Tigers playing in their backyard in what is essentially a coin-flip game.

Missouri ML (+105) at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
