A battle for 3rd place in the Big East is on the line tonight as the Pitt Panthers play host to the West Virginia Mountaineers. Pitt will be looking for a little revenge in this contest. West Virginia handled the Panthers 70-51 just 9 days ago. Considering the Panthers only shot 30% from the field, 17-28 from the free throw line, and were out-rebounded 45-31, it could have been worse. Pitt’s defense has been pretty strong at home this year allowing their opponents to shoot only 36% from the field. I expect Pitt to come out with much more intensity tonight. West Virginia is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games as a favorite of less than 6 points. Pitt is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 in the same situation as a dog.
Pick: Pitt +2
