California has a terrific three-guard attack leading the Bears in scoring in Andrej Stojakovic (19.1 ppg), Jovan Blacksher Jr, and Jeremiah Wilkinson. As a team, they average 78.9 points shooting 45.8% from the field and 36.5% from 3-point land. The bench is averaging 26.1 points, the fifth most in the ACC. They're off to their best start since the 2016-17 season. Cal knocked off USC on the road, 71-66, as a +7 underdog. Cal also lost but covered as a +10.5 dog in a close one at Missouri after leading by 16 at the half. They match up well against a Pittsburgh squad that also has a 3-guard attack leading the team in scoring. One of those guards, Damian Dunn (13 points per game), is out after thumb surgery. Play California on the moneyline.
