BUFFALO BULLS @ PITT

Pitt’s perimeter shooting made the opener decisive

Pitt hit 14 of 26 threes in its 95-57 win over Rider; that shooting is an early test rather than a guarantee based on one game.

Lorick was Buffalo’s bright spot in a difficult opener

Antoine Lorick III scored 28 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in Buffalo’s 92-65 loss at Marshall, and the Bulls need more support in their second straight road test.

Pitt showed several ways to generate offense

Five Panthers scored in double figures against Rider, while Naithan George recorded eight assists and one turnover.

Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Pitt moneyline, subject to the price

Pitt is the more defensible side based on home court and the matchup, but no verified sportsbook price was available; avoid an extreme favorite price.

Consider Pitt team total only with a favorable number

Consider a Pitt team-total over only if the posted line is meaningfully below market expectations; with no verified total, pass rather than chase an inflated number.
