Pittsburgh is one of the best defensive teams in the country as they are holding their opponents to an average of 63.4 PPG, and they will get a Georgia Tech team that ranks 264th in the country in points scored (68.3 PPG). The Panthers have a very good backcourt as 4 different guys are averaging over 10 PPG in ACC play, and they should have success against the Georgia Tech defense that is allowing 71.7 PPG against their conference foes. The Yellow Jackets have been very good in the paint with Moses Wright and James Banks III as they are connecting on 51.8% of their attempts, but their struggles outside of the paint is too much to overlook in this spot. Pittsburgh has been respectable at home this season with a 10-4 record, and they find success once again with a win here. Final Score Prediction, Pittsburgh Panthers win and cover ATS 71-63.
