Pittsburgh upset Stanford in a surprise to open the ACC Tournament and will need to be even better here against NC State.<\/p>\n

I have difficulty seeing that happening, though, as the Panthers relied on a short rotation and physicality to exhaust the Cardinal, making me wonder if they\u2019ll have anything left in the tank here. The matchup itself looms large as well.<\/p>\n

Read why I like NC State to cover in my NC State vs. Pittsburgh predictions and college basketball picks<\/a> on Wednesday, March 11.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh vs NC State prediction<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh vs NC State best bet: N.C. State -7.5 (-110 at bet365)<\/p>\n

The NC State Wolfpack<\/a> comes into this matchup losers of three straight. With that in mind, I feel you\u2019re getting a bit of a discount on the price in this one, and I\u2019ll buy low on State as a consequence.<\/p>\n

NC State’s pick & pop offense is one of the best in the country, ranking in the 97th percentile, and Pittsburgh’s<\/a> pick & pop defense allows over one point per possession against such sets. That’s the most lopsided mismatch in the game.<\/p>\n

Every ball screen with a popping big is free money for the Wolfpack. That, coupled with the spot, is enough here.<\/p>\n

NC State -7.5<\/p>\n

Under 145.5<\/p>\n

+244 at bet365<\/p>\n

I paired my best bet with the Under.<\/p>\n

Again, Pitt playing yesterday plays a part, but so does how that game was played. The Panthers played with great force and bullied the Cardinals around the rim, finding just enough offense. I think they\u2019ll struggle to do that here, both due to the spot and a strong Wolfpack interior defense.<\/p>\n
