Panthers Hoping to Continue Competitive Play
Pittsburgh enters the ACC Tournament with a 12-19 overall record and a 5-13 mark in conference play. The Panthers have had mixed results recently as they recently won over Syracuse 71-69 in overtime, recently lost to Florida State 75-74, recently won over California 72-56, recently lost to Stanford 75-67, and recently won over Notre Dame 73-68.

The Panthers have generally relied on defensive effort and rebounding to stay competitive. Their scoring average is lower than many conference opponents, which can make it difficult to keep up with stronger offensive teams.
Stanford Cardinal vs Pittsburgh Panthers Pick
Stanford vs Pittsburgh Pick
- Stanford Cardinal Moneyline
Stanford has been the more consistent team this season and recently defeated Pittsburgh 75-67. The Cardinal enter the tournament with stronger momentum after winning four of their last five games. With Stanford’s ability to generate turnovers and create extra scoring opportunities, they should have the advantage in this matchup.
Stanford vs Pittsburgh Total Pick
- Take the Under if the total is set at 147
I expect this to be a fairly controlled and defensive game. Pittsburgh games tend to be lower scoring and Stanford is comfortable playing at a slower pace when necessary. With both teams capable defensively, this matchup could lean toward the under.
Final Score Prediction: Stanford 74, Pittsburgh 68
