Nov 16, (V7N) - The investigation into former Temple guard Hysier Miller regarding point-shaving and potential manipulation of college basketball games is a serious matter, with both federal authorities and the NCAA involved. The situation stems from unusual betting activity observed during a March 7 game between Temple and UAB, which saw a dramatic shift in the betting line, suggesting possible insider involvement.

Miller's dismissal from Virginia Tech in October, following his transfer there, appears to be tied to the ongoing investigation, though both the NCAA and FBI have not provided specific comments on the case. The unusual wagering activity flagged by U.S. Integrity and the subsequent reviews of betting patterns indicate that Miller may have been involved in a scheme to influence the outcomes of games.

In particular, the game against UAB, which saw Temple lose 100-72, has raised red flags. The betting line swung significantly during the day, prompting some sportsbooks to halt wagers on the game. In addition to Miller's performance on the court in that game (scoring 8 points with 3 turnovers), reports indicate that other bettors who had wagered against Temple in this game had also placed bets throughout the season, which suggests a broader pattern.

Miller’s attorney has expressed confidence in his client, emphasizing the challenges Miller has overcome in his life. However, if the allegations are proven, it could have serious repercussions for Miller's career and college basketball's integrity. The investigation continues, and its outcome could impact the wider landscape of sports betting and college athletics.
