The Pittsburgh Panthers have long been known to be a tough physical team to play against under coach Jaime Dixon. That has manifested itself in a big way this season. I'm sure he was upset about the Panthers opener, where they allowed 90 points to Eastern Michigan. That defensive toughness, became the focal point of practices from that point on and his Panthers team has responded. Pitt has allowed fewer points than the game before in every game, culminating in the 59 they allowed in their last game to Maryland - perhaps their toughest season to date opponent. Duquesne has not shown a strong offensive proficiency this season. What stands out in a rather weak schedule is their season low in points vs. Kentucky where they scored just 59, shooting a season low 30.4%. Expect those numbers to be duplicated in this one, so take the UNDER.

Duquesne vs. Pittsburgh
7:00 PM Eastern
Pitt is an outstanding defensive team on a 5-0 run UNDER the total against a team with a winning record. The Panthers lead the ACC in blocked shots (5.8 bpg), field goal percentage defense (.368), three-point field goal percentage defense (.324) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.04-to-1). Pitt is off a poor offensive game, with season-lows in scoring (59), field goal percentage (.351) and three-point percentage. They step down in class here and the team is 5-1 UNDER the total against the Atlantic 10. They face a good Duquesne defense, with the Dukes on a 5-1 run UNDER the total, including 5-1 UNDER at neutral sites. And when these area rivals meet the UNDER is 6-1. Play this one to finish UNDER.
