10* College Game of the Week
(NCAAB) Pittsburgh vs. Virginia,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -110.00 Virginia (Home)
Result: Push
Top-seeded Virginia (26-6) survived the quarterfinals despite one of its worst 3-point shooting performances against a conference opponent all season. The Cavaliers were 6 of 20 from beyond the arc (30.0 percent) in a 64-51 win over No. 9 seed Florida State on Friday. They were second in the league in the regular season from 3-point range, making 39.5 percent of their shots during conference play. Virginia was much more efficient from inside the arc against the Seminoles, hitting 17 of 28 attempts. The Panthers played great against NC on Friday, but when NC applied pressure they became rattled, and that fits right into UVA's wheelhouse. Virginia has been great defensively all season, and this tourney means a lot to these Cavaliers. This is one of the best teams UVA has put on the floor in a long time, and they will be ready for the Panthers. UVA did come out flat Vs FSU, but poured it on in the 2nd half. Pitt is getting tired and will be exhausted playing in their third game in three days today. Plus they'll be going against the number one man to man defense in the country Virginia is hungry after losing to Maryland last weekend and I love them in this spot here Saturday afternoon.
