record 21-21 -11.8 units
Pitt -5 2 units
1st true road test for Notre Dame and they struggled in their only road game beating Valpo by 2. Pitt has a lot more depth on the interior. ND's only quality big man is the freshman Francis and I wouldn't be surprised to see him in foul trouble. Pitt is much better defensively and should control the paint. Think they get an easy win at home.
Wofford -1 1 unit
Charleston has not played well on the road losing to C. Florida and Vandy by 18 and 17 points and just got by 1-8 Stetson winning by 2. Wofford has played a very tough schedule and I think it will pay off here.
Iowa St. +6 3 units
Think the loss of Simien will be big as there is a big dropoff on the bench. Hurting their depth even more is the loss of the 6-10 Niang who had played in 11 games. ISU is a very good rebounding team outrebounding opponents by 12 per game. ISU got their 7-1 Juco transfer Alexander practicing about a month ago and he saw his first significant playing time last game going 8-9 from the field with 25 points and 8 boards in 22 minutes and should provide another big man to bang with Collison. Think this will be a close game ISU could possibly win so will take the points.
