Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
Coach Jim Larranaga has Miami is 4-0 to start the ACC conference season and leading powerhouses Duke, Virginia and preseason No. 1 North Carolina is a lofty perch for the Hurricanes. G Isaiah Wong (17.4 PPG) and Jordan Miller (14.6 PPG) will need to continue their scoring ways through the season for Miami to cotend for the conference title.
Georgia Tech, which started the season 7-3 in the non-conference schedule, has faltered with an 0-3 start in the ACC with 3 games being double-digit losses. This game is not an easy way to attempt to get the ship righted.

Miami at Georgia Tech picks and predictions
Prediction
Miami 78, Georgia Tech 74
Moneyline
PASS.
Miami has been playing great basketball and is still undefeated on the road (3-0) and it will go into Atlanta and win another game. This is an important game, not just for conference rankings, but also for recruiting. Atlanta is among the best recruiting cities in the nation and a win here could show some of the young talent what Miami has to offer on top of NIL.
Against the spread
BET GEORGIA TECH +6.5 (-110).
Miami is playing great. But Georgia Tech will be able to keep up with the Hurricanes in this game. I do not see a threat of the Yellow Jackets winning. But they will keep it close enough to make Miami nervous for a bit before winning and 6.5 seems a few points to high. If this number stays above 5.5, I like Geogia Tech to cover.
BET OVER 146.5 (-110).
In the last 4 games, the only time Miami has scored less then 76 points was against Virginia, a team ranked in the bottom 5 in pace of play. When Miami can set the pace, as it will Wednesday, the Hurricanes can score with anyone. Georgia Tech also can score, and this will be a game where both schools hit 70 and could both hit 80 so OVER 146.5 (-110) is the play.
