Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Vanderbilt Commodores Key Stats

Pitt has excelled defensively on this winning streak, and in five of their past five games, they've held opponents to under 37% shooting. While some of these opponents have been weaker, in their last two games, they were underdogs by seven and ten points.

The Panthers' top two leading scorers have accounted for almost half of their team's points. Junior Blake Hinson leads the squad in scoring (16.3) and rebounding (6.9), and teammate Jamarius Burton isn't too far behind at 15.8 PPG. Burton has been a key playmaker, too, averaging 4.1 assists, which is a hair behind teammate Nelly Cummings' 4.2. Pitt hasn't been great from deep as a team, but HInson and Burton find ways to get buckets night in and night out.

Vanderbilt has had mixed results this year, but where they've stood out is holding opponents to just 27.8% from three. Junior Myles Stute leads the way with 12.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Three other teammates average 9.9 or more points, but a glaring issue is the lack of playmakers on this squad. Senior guards Jordan Wright and Ezra Manjon have been decent in this category, and they combine for 6.5 assists, while the rest of the team averages a combined 5.8 dimes. When the Commodores have won this year, it's usually been because of strong defensive performances, so we'll see if they can be solid on that end tonight.

Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Vanderbilt Commodores Betting Prediction

Vanderbilt is favored here due to their home advantage, but Pitt has won both of their road games this season. Also, given the fact that Vandy has lost all four of their last four versus winning teams, it seems like Pitt has a good chance of extending their winning streak to six. We'll stick with backing Pitt to at least cover the spread here, though, which would be their fifth cover in a row.

Prediction: Pitt +3.5 (-110)
