Hysier Miller, a former Temple men’s basketball player, is under federal investigation for allegedly betting on and manipulating the outcome of games he played in, according to ESPN.
According to ESPN, sportsbooks had alerted U.S. Integrity, a Las Vegas firm that monitors the betting market, to “unusual line movement and suspicious wagering patterns on a March 7 regular-season game between Temple and UAB.”
The point spread grew from the morning of the game from UAB -2 to -8 by early afternoon, before sportsbooks halted betting on the contest. A six-point line movement on a college basketball game is rare, especially late in the season, unless there are injuries or suspensions, bookmakers and bettors told the outlet.
UAB won the game 100-72. Miller scored 8 points on 3-9 shooting. He averaged 15.9 points per game in the 2023-2024 season.
