Former Temple basketball player Hysier Miller is reportedly the subject of a federal point-shaving investigation.
According to ESPN, Miller is under investigation for possible betting on Temple games in which he played. Late last season, Temple games were flagged for unusual betting activity.
From ESPN:
Temple spokesman Steve Orbanek told ESPN that the school “is aware of the deeply disturbing sports betting allegations last season.” He said the university “has not received any requests for information” from state or federal law enforcement officials but will “fully cooperate if contacted.”
The NCAA declined to comment.
In a statement, the FBI said it would neither confirm nor deny the existence of any investigation.
In early March, US Integrity said there were notable line movements prior to Temple’s game against UAB. The line moved five points toward the Blazers and they closed as 7.5-point favorites. UAB easily covered the spread with a 100-72 victory.
That flag from the gaming service came after it reportedly monitored Temple games for “a while.” In Temple’s game before playing UAB, the line moved quickly in Tulsa’s favor. Tulsa defeated Temple by five points in that game.
Miller played three seasons at Temple and was the team’s leading scorer in 2023-2024. The Owls were just 5-13 in conference play, but won four games in the AAC Tournament as part of a remarkable run led by Miller’s scoring spree. The Owls defeated UTSA, SMU, Charlotte and Florida Atlantic to reach the AAC title game. There the Owls lost again to UAB, 85–69, and failed to make the NCAA tournament.
He left the program after the season and transferred to Virginia Tech. However, Miller left Virginia Tech on October 23 before the 2024-25 season began.
