Miami finds themselves with a huge Friday night matchup with NC State as they try and keep their ACC Championship hopes alive. The 5-1 Canes are the favorites against the the 4-2 Wolfpack, but this is a potential trap game for Manny Diaz’s squad if they aren’t prepared.
A Primetime matchup on the road against a very decent ACC opponent are all factors that make this game favorable against Miami. Without a full crowd in attendance, this should take some pressure off the Canes. Keep in mind Miami had the same circumstances in their game against Clemson than against NC State this week.
