Hysier Miller Released from Temple Amid Allegations Against His Former Team
Hysier Miller, a former Temple player, was released from Virginia Tech following new information uncovered in the investigation into suspicious betting on Temple games.
Allegations Surrounding Temple Basketball Team
An investigation has highlighted unusual betting activity around Temple games. U.S. Integrity, a betting monitoring firm, noted suspicious line movements in the March 7 game between Temple and the UAB Blazers, where Hysier Miller scored 8 points.
One sportsbook shifted the line from UAB as a 1.5-point favorite over Temple in the morning to an 8-point favorite by noon, eventually stabilizing at 7 points before game time.
The Blazers ultimately defeated the Owls 100-72 at Temple’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, marking Temple’s second consecutive loss and their second game failing to cover the spread.
In a prior home game against Tulsa Golden Hurricane, Temple, favored by 5.5 points, lost by five points.
Reasons Behind Hysier Miller’s Dismissal
Miller, Temple’s leading scorer last season, transferred to Virginia Tech amid high expectations. However, the ongoing investigation into unusual betting patterns on Temple games uncovered new findings.
After joining Virginia Tech, Miller was released from the team, though sources have not clarified his role in the case or what new information led to his dismissal.
Virginia Tech has refrained from disclosing specific reasons for Miller’s release, suggesting the university’s serious stance on distancing itself from any potential association with illicit gambling activities.
