#4 Duke vs. Pittsburgh Bet
A game many of us have circled features No. 4 Duke coming off a heartbreaking loss to arch rival North Carolina on Saturday. The Blue Devils lost on a last second three and now must keep their bags packed and head to Pittsburgh, where the Panthers are searching for their first win since January 27th. However, I do not see this Pitt team turning anything around anytime soon. The Panthers are 2-12 against top 100 opponents and have been one of the biggest no shows all season, even inside their home gym. I will not sugar coat it. They are going to get embarrassed.
Following the loss to North Carolina, it is hard for me to pass on backing one of the best teams in the country to get back on track, especially when they have one of the best coaches in the country going up against one of the most mediocre. Under Jon Scheyer, Duke is 9-1 straight up in ACC regular season play following a conference loss, winning those games by an average margin of 16 points per game. Even on the road, the Blue Devils have played some of their best basketball away from home. Give me Duke to cover the 17.
As mentioned, Duke has done an excellent job staying efficient away from its home gym. Through eight true road games, they own the second best defense in the country. They excel at keeping opponents off the free throw line, attacking the glass at, and guarding the interior. Offensively, Duke ranks 16th in adjusted offensive efficiency, sitting fifth nationally in two-point percentage and 37th in offensive rebounding.
Despite playing the 38th toughest schedule in the country, the Panthers take a significant step back statistically. Through 14 games against top 100 opponents, Pitt's defense ranks 233rd in eFG%, 252nd in two point percentage, and 194th in turnover rate. Offensively, they struggle from deep at 303rd in three point percentage, do not get to the line at a high rate, and fail to convert consistently once there. Overall, their offense ranks 231st in eFG%, and I believe they are in for a long night against a Duke team coming off a loss to its arch rival. To add to my disdain for Pitt, EvanMiya metrics project them as a complete no show against tougher competition, ranking second worst when it comes to performance versus quality opponents.
This game should be played at a slower pace, but Pitt is not good enough to dictate tempo, even at home. Duke has not been a fast team on the road, but I would not be surprised to see the Blue Devils push the pace early in an effort to pull the Panthers out of their comfort zone right out of the gate.
