Stanford will open the ACC tournament against Pittsburgh looking to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
The 10-seeded Cardinal ride a four-game winning streak into a meeting with a Pitt team they just beat two weeks ago, and it’s hard to see that changing here.
My Stanford vs. Pittsburgh predictions and college basketball picks break down why the Cardinal will cover as a short favorite on Tuesday, March 10.
Stanford vs Pittsburgh prediction
Stanford vs Pittsburgh best bet
Stanford vs Pittsburgh best bet: Stanford -5 (-116)
The Pittsburgh Panthers‘ turnover rate is a massive story, as they’re 243rd with a -0.6 turnover ratio. That’s a disaster against a Stanford Cardinal team that converts in transition at such a high clip.
Every Pitt live-ball turnover is a fast break bucket waiting to happen.
Ebuka Okorie dropped 34 points in Stanford’s win two weeks ago, and the Cardinal’s transition attack is elite enough to turn this game into a track meet the Panthers can’t keep up with.
The Cardinal have more motivation here, needing just one win to assure a tournament bid in the eyes of most bracketologists.
