#828. Pittsburgh over Clemson
(NCAAB) Clemson vs. Pittsburgh,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -110.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
One side will look to keep momentum and the other to regain it as Clemson visits Pittsburgh to begin Atlantic Coast Conference play on Sunday afternoon. The Tigers (6-0) aim to maintain the impetus provided by an 85-77 victory over No. 23 Alabama on Tuesday, the program's second-ever road triumph over a nonconference top 25 team. Following a 71-64 home loss to Missouri the same night, the Panthers (5-2) will look to bounce back in the same manner that they did after their first defeat this season. In that Tuesday clash against Missouri, Pitt shot 16-for-47 (34 percent) overall. The Panthers were 6-for-24 (25 percent) in the second half. We think Pittsburgh HAS to bounce back from a terrible shooting performance like that, and they likely do well here.
