With both teams scoring at a high clip and not embracing a heavy defensive game plan, I have to take the over. North Florida have covered big underdog spreads this season and in order to do that again vs the Hurricanes they must return fire offensively. Not much of a road gane for the visiting team but we've seen them match the pace of their opponents, going over in 4 of the last 6 road games, allowing 70+ to all the teams they've traveled to play. Miami have averaged 85 points in the last 4 home games and have only scored less than 84 in one game at the Watsco Center. North Florida are the better defense overall, especially defending the 3pt line, but Miami are 3rd in 3pt percentage and if they successfully hit near that 40 percent mark in this game, it causes more reason for North Florida to attempt more than their average of 35 shot 3's (most in the ncaa). Fireworks in Florida to end 2023. Miami could be in for a 90pt game here.
