Miami holds a huge backcourt edge here led by Isaiah Wong, who was named a first-team All-ACC player in the preseason poll. The Hurricanes are deep at guard. They have had problems in the ACC, but are stepping way down in class here.

Canisius only was able to play 13 games last season because of the pandemic going 7-6.

The Hurricanes have looked good in their preseason games. I have them power rated by more than 20 points in this matchup.
