- Panthers are live dogs for this matchup when you look at the last games played of the season and their respective conference tournaments.

- Pittsburgh has played the tougher conference teams so even though the Mississippi offense should be able to take advantage of Pittsburghs middle tier defense; Forcing Mississippi State to keep up on offense is going to be the gameplan for the Panthers.

- Scoring 69 points on Dukes elite defense should give the Panthers confidence in this game, as well as their big wins over Syracuse and Georgia Tech to end the season.
