Miami vs Pittsburgh -3 O/U 136
I am not really understanding the line move down to -3. Miami has been ravaged by injuries all year long and they have a skeleton crew playing this game. Pittsburgh isn’t without some controversy themselves having their 2nd and 3rd best players enter the transfer portal, but since that happened, this team has kept up with Florida State only losing by 5 points, kept up with NC State only losing by 3 and they beat Wake Forest by 13. Miami just came off of a big senior night win vs the worst team in the ACC in Boston College by only 4 points at home. They celebrated like they just won the ACC. Miami lost by double digits four of their last five games before this. I think Pittsburgh cleans up here and wins by 5.
Pittsburgh -3 – 3 stars
BYU vs Gonzaga -13 O/U 154.5
The West Coast Conference championship is on! This fight won’t be much of a fight though by the end of this game and I think that the excitement here will still take this game over. I have absolutely no reason to believe that the Zags will not score a minimum of 85 points tonight. They dropped 86 and 82 vs BYU both times this year. This fast paced team plays an average 75.2 possessions per game and that includes garbage time. When great teams have to play good teams instead of horrible teams, garbage time usually comes later and the scores reflect more points. BYU went OT last night vs Pepperdine which usually means the defense gets left behind in back to back games. I have the Zags winning this game 87-73 with a total of 160.
Over 154.5 – 2 stars
