PITTSBURGH +5........$200......I do have to admit the Panthers are in a tough spot here losing 3 in a row, but if they want to make the NCAA tourney, they have go to win here tonight. During the three-game losing slide, Pitt is shooting 23.9 percent from 3-point range (11 for 46). The Panthers shot a season-low 18 percent (4 for 22) in Saturday's 73-64 loss to Connecticut
Senior Forward C. Troutman: "There's a sense of urgency," Troutman said. "We just have to finish off the rest of these games. We have to do it any way possible. I know a win is due. I'm happy to go up there and play them on the road. I feel like we play better on the road sometimes. We have three losses in a row. We have to win the next one."
If they are going to beat the Eagles, it will have to behind the arc. BC is letting oppts shoot, 43% from 3 point range, their last 5 game. 5 games in which they went 3-2. 10 of their victories have come by six points or less -- but they usually find ways to win games, thanks to 6-foot-7 forwards Craig Smith (17.8 points, 8.5 rebounds) and Jared Dudley (16.5, 7.6).
Pitt is 4-1 ATS the last 5 and they have gone 3-1, their last 4 visits to BC.
