Brant Byers Points Prediction: Under 12.5 vs Miami (OH) | March 19 NCAAB Prop Pick
Brant Byers' points prop offers solid value on the Under tonight. The SMU Mustangs guard takes on Miami (OH) on March 19, and our model projects Byers to fall short of his 12.5-point line. Here's why we're backing the Under.
Brant Byers Stats & Recent Form
Byers has been inconsistent as a role player in SMU's rotation, averaging just 9.8 points over his last five games with significant variance in usage. The guard has cracked double figures in scoring just twice in his past seven contests, posting a 40% field goal rate during that stretch. His recent trends suggest he's operating well below the 12.5-point threshold, with a clear ceiling as a complementary scorer in a crowded SMU backcourt.
Matchup Analysis: SMU vs Miami (OH)
Miami (OH) plays suffocating perimeter defense, ranking in the top 50 nationally in three-point field goal percentage allowed. The RedHawks' scheme is built to limit outside production, which directly impacts role players like Byers who don't create their own shots consistently. SMU's offensive pace should remain moderate, limiting Byers' volume opportunities against a disciplined defensive opponent.
