2 units on Pittsburgh -7.5 (-110) (risk 2 to return 3.82)
Result:
LOSS

VCU has had a great season, but some things pop out at you when you take a closer look. There is not a team that is left in this tournament they have beaten all season. They have lost four games to teams that aren't even in this tournament, and two of those were on their home court. Sometimes when you see a team with a lofty record that didn't play anyone, it doesn't mean they can't beat them, but here is a team that has failed miserably when facing good teams and Pitt is better than good. Pitt has lost 4 of its 7 games to teams still in the tournament, with two of the others being Marquette. The only other loss was to Oklahoma State on the road, a team that was on fire at the time and 11-1. The strength of VCU is shooting the three-point shot, something that Pitt defends very well at 30%. Pitt will win this one by double digits.
