Play on UCONN HUSKIES -6
Game Analysis: Pittsburgh has surprised a lot of people so far this season. After losing a ton of talent from their Elite Eight team of a year ago, the Panthers’ roster was left with youth and inexperience, and just one returning starter. But that hasn’t mattered yet, as this team is currently 13-2 and 3-0 in conference play. They come into tonight’s game off two big road wins at Syracuse (+ 11) and at Cincinnati (+ 4), and they’ll look to make it three straight wins on the road as an underdog.
But that’s a lot to ask of a young team, especially playing at a Connecticut team that is off a loss. This is a much bigger game for the Huskies, and head coach Jim Calhoun knows it. “It’s not a critical game for us. It’s an incredibly important game for us, as every single game would be. I said a long time ago, with 20 games to go, that we need to get our share of conference wins. We’ve got two so far, and we’ve got to get our share.”
While the situation and need greatly favor UConn, there are a few reasons why this selection isn’t rated stronger. After blowing that 19-point lead at Georgetown, the Connecticut player’s psyche is in question. “Any time you lose a game, something happens to you, and you’re never really sure until you play again,” Calhoun said. “I think Pitt probably just has a little more maturity than we do.”
Pittsburgh has no such issues with their confidence. “This team is really tough and mentally strong,” Pitt forward Gilbert Brown said. “A lot of people didn’t expect a lot out of us. But I think we held high expectations of ourselves.” The Panthers have also won the last two games in this series and their two losses before that only came by 7 and 4 points which makes the pointspread look a tad too high to make this a Best Bet selection.
