Pittsburgh players are dropping (out) like flies. The Panthers’ second- and third-leading scorers — G Au’Diese Toney (14.4 ppg) and G Xavier Johnson (14.2) — have stepped into the transfer portal. Only one leftover is a double-digit scorer. Pitt went 2-5-1 ATS in its previous eight games. Flip the win-loss numbers, and you have N.C. State’s ATS record during the same span. The Pomeroy analytics place the Wolfpack higher than Pitt, and that does not account for the two exiting players.
NC State is 0-5-1 ATS in its last six home games, but this is a great spot for the Wolfpack. They've won three in a row and are coming off a huge victory at Virginia. They must keep winning to have any shot of postseason play. The Panthers have lost seven of eight, and since they last played, their Nos. 2 and 3 scorers left the program. Junior swingman Au'Diese Toney not only averaged 14.4 points and 5.9 rebounds, he was Pitt's top defender. Point guard Xavier Johnson averaged 14.2 points and 5.7 assists. Lay it.
