See all of our experts' college basketball picks for today's slate.

Miami Hurricanes men's basketball has the guard play and offensive versatility to overwhelm Missouri Tigers men's basketball in this matchup. Miami thrives in up-tempo games, creating efficient looks both inside and beyond the arc, while Missouri has struggled with defensive consistency against athletic backcourts.

The Hurricanes’ experience in March situations also gives them a composure edge late. If Miami controls pace and limits turnovers, they can dictate flow and force Missouri into uncomfortable half-court sets, ultimately pulling away in the second half for a statement opening-round victory.
