The Pittsburgh Panthers are really wanting to get this one, and pick up #20 on the season. It was hard to predict what Louisville would do to wrap up the season, with no postseason play in sight. The Cardinals appear to still be working hard to finish the season. This should be a great game, with the home crowd at the Peterson Events Center in Pittsburgh being the deciding factor. In a back and forth game, look for Pittsburgh to pull away with a win. The MyBookie.ag odds for this game show Pittsburgh as the slight -1,5 point favorite. The bet for this game is on the Pittsburgh Panthers -1 over the Louisville Cardinals. My prediction: Pittsburgh 74 and Louisville 68.
