Boston College upset Wake Forest an 82-77 overtime thriller on Wednesday, and will now take on Miami in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament.

Boston College entered the conference tournament as the No. 13 seed, and are looking to go on a Cinderella run. The Eagles' only hope of making the March Madness tournament is to win the ACC tournament. The next step would be to upset the No. 4 seed Miami Hurricanes today.

Miami beat Boston College 81-70 on March 2 in what was the only meeting between these two teams this season.

Here are the odds via WynnBET for this afternoon's ACC quarterfinal matchup.

Boston College vs. Miami Prediction and Pick

Boston College should be commended for making it this far, but the Eagles are in over their heads against a very good Miami squad. Boston College ranks 283rd in effective field goal percentage, while Miami has been one of the best shooting teams in the country this season, ranking 27th in that stat.

Miami has struggled defensively at times this season, ranking 248th in defensive efficiency, but that should be much of an issues as the Eagles rank 204th in that stat, so the two teams even out.

Is Miami's shooting enough to cover the 7.5-point spread? I think it is.

Lean: Miami -7.5
