This is a fairly low total considering Miami has 12th best offensive efficiency in the nation getting 117.1 points per 100 possessions with rising Wichita at 108.7. Miami has a great backcourt and with speed matches up well against Wichita State and the vaunted defense. They will be able to get the Shockers to play at a faster pace than they like.

Larranaga knows he has to up the pace and handicapping totals is more about pace than offensive or defensive efficiency.
