Notre Dame at Pittsburgh

Two bottom-feeders in the ACC right now square off for their second conference game of the season. Both teams come in as winners in their last two and they come in with similar records. Currently, in the ACC standings, Pittsburgh is in second to last and one spot ahead sit the Fighting Irish.

Notre Dame comes into this contest with an overall record of 6-5 and 0-1 in conference play. It has been a tough start to the season for Notre Dame, but they have made strides and shown they can play basketball with the best. With losses to Illinois, Indiana, Boston College, and St. Mary’s, it looked like a rough start for the Irish. A big win over Kentucky changed that. Dane Goodwin leads the Fighting Irish with 15.3 points per game.

To start the season for Pittsburgh, they have a lot of bad losses. They have lost to The Citadel, Vanderbilt, UMBC, and Monmouth. They do have other losses but those are to good teams. The resume win for the Panthers is their win over St. John’s. The Panthers are led by John Hugley with 14.5 points per game.

Notre Dame should come out on top in this game. They are favorites at -3.5, which they should be able to cover.
