Pitt Panthers Betting Prediction
First, we have the Pittsburgh vs UNC Betting prediction for the Panthers.
Pitt beat fifth-seeded Wake Forest in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament Thursday afternoon, winning their fourth straight game. The Panthers finished the year with a record of 22-10 overall and 12-8 in the ACC. Pitt broke a 13-12 tie against Wake Forest with a 12–2 run in the first half, getting ahead 25–14 with 8:55 left in the half. The Panthers were ahead the whole game. They were ahead by 12 points at halftime and by as many as 19 points with 13:14 left. Wake Forest cut Pitt’s lead to three points a few times, but Pitt pulled away late to win. It was a 48.1% shooting night for the Panthers, with nine of 23 three-point shots going in. They also forced 15 mistakes during the game. Pitt scored 30 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and stole five balls in the loss.
This season, the Panthers have scored 75.8 points per game, which ranks them 114th in the country. Pitt gets 37.3 boards per game, which ranks 86th, and gives out 13.9 assists per game. The Panthers’ defense is above average; they give up 67.5 points per game, which ranks them 59th in the country. Blake Hinson scores 18.8 points and grabs 4.6 rebounds per game, which is the most on Pitt’s offense. Carlton Carrington (13.6 points, 5.2 boards, and 4.2 assists) and Ishmael Leggett (11.9 points, 5.5 rebounds) are both good backup scorers. They are Guillermo Diaz Graham, Zack Austin, Federiko Federiko, Jorge Diaz Graham, Jaland Lowe, and William Jeffress. They need to do better for boss Jeff Capel and the Panthers to win. In general, Pitt is making 43.7% of its shots from the floor. It took the Panthers 35.7% of their three-point shots to miss, which is 9.6 per game. Although Pitt makes 70.1% of their free throws this year, they are only average at the line, ranking 268th in the country in that area.
The last time Jorge Diaz Graham played was on January 16, and he won’t play again this year.
North Carolina Tar Heels Betting Prediction
Now we have the Pittsburgh vs UNC Betting prediction for the Tar Heels.
They beat Florida State badly in the quarterfinals of the tournament Thursday afternoon, making their win run seven games. The Tar Heels won the ACC title by two games, going 26-6 overall and 17-3 in the league. North Carolina was ahead by one point 12 minutes into the game against Florida State. They then beat the Seminoles 26–11 over the rest of the half to go into halftime ahead 46–30. As they won, the Tar Heels never let their lead drop below 13 points. They were ahead by as many as 27 points in the second half. North Carolina had a 52.3% field goal percentage, making eight of 19 three-point shots. They also had 48-22 advantage on the glass. RJ Davis scored 18 points to help the Tar Heels win.
This season, the Tar Heels scored 81.9 points per game, which ranked them 22nd in the country in terms of attack. It is eighth in the country that North Carolina grabs an average of 41.2 boards per game and gives out an average of 14.4 assists per night. The Tar Heels’ defense is better than average. They give up an average of 70 points per game, which ranks them 120th in scoring defense. This season, RJ Davis has scored 21 points per game, which is the most for North Carolina. It’s been a good season for Armando Bacot (13.9 points, 10.1 rebounds), Harrison Ingram (12.4 points, 9.3 rebounds), and Cormac Ryan (11.6 points, 2.9 boards). They all score in double figures and help the team. A lot of people think that Elliott Cadeau, Seth Trimble, Jalen Washington, Jae’Lyn Withers, and Paxson Wojcik will give coach Hubert Davis important minutes. This season, North Carolina makes 45.2% of its shots from the floor. The Tar Heels make 36% of their three-point shots, which means they make an average of eight per game. When it comes to the charity line, North Carolina is well above average. They make 75.3% of their shots, which ranks them 57th in the country.
Pittsburgh vs UNC Betting Pick
Pitt played well in their win over Wake Forest, but now they have to play the best team in the conference. In the first game of the season, the Panthers struggled and only made 30.8% of their shots from the field, including a terrible 5/29 from three-point range. Pitt can keep up with North Carolina on the boards, but North Carolina is the best team at it. The Tar Heels should be fresh for this game since they barely had to play Florida State in the semifinals. Pitt can’t focus on just one guy because all four of them can do damage at any time. The Tar Heels make it to the championship game because Hinson is limited.
