Former Temple men’s basketball player Hysier Miller is under federal investigation over allegations of point shaving, according to a report from ESPN. 

During his tenure with the Temple Owls, a 100-72 loss against the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) on March 7, 2024, raised eyebrows at popular sportsbooks. Before the game, the line moved from UAB -2 to -8 due to an influx of wagers on UAB. 

Miller, who led the Owls in scoring at 15.9 ppg last season, finished the outing with 8 points on 3-9 shooting and failed to record an assist for the first time all season.

The investigation follows alerts from sportsbooks to the Las Vegas firm U.S Integrity. According to an ESPN report, The Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey, halted betting action on the UAB vs. Temple matchup the morning of the game. Even following the line movement, sportsbook director Thomas Gable told ESPN the wagers continued, ultimately leading to the decision to halt the action.

The investigation has been ongoing for several months, and the NCAA is reportedly also seeking answers, per the ESPN report. Investigators have spent the months following the March matchup investigating Temple games.

“We have been fully responsive and cooperative with the NCAA since the moment we learned of the investigation,” Temple spokesperson Steve Orbanek told ESPN.

Jason P. Bologna, an attorney representing Miller, released the following statement to ESPN: “Hysier Miller has overcome more adversity in his 22 years than most people face in their lifetime. He will meet and overcome whatever obstacles lay ahead.”
