Butler vs. Pittsburgh
Prediction: Pittsburgh -7.5 -110 odds – March 19th 2011
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S EXPERT NCAA TOURNAMENT PICKS
I realize this will not be a popular choice for some of our mid-major fans out there, but the Panthers are extremely talented, despite catching an early out in the Big East. Remember, their loss to UConn is now highly respected. The Huskies went on to win the Big East and torched Bucknell as we thought in game #1 of tourney. The Panther losses this season were to Tennessee, Notre Dame, St. John’s, Louisville and again, UConn. Now they catch well coached and former FINAL FOUR entry Butler who defeated Old Dominion in round one 60-58. The Bulldogs rely on Mack, Howard and Smith to generate points, but their bench is ineffective at times from the offensive standpoint. So, I’ll take the deeper Panthers to bury the Bulldogs….82-67. -Brad Diamond (Handicapperspicks.com)
