518 Pittsburgh -2 -1.02 (4 Unit Play)-No opinion on the total in this one but if you pinned me down to making a play I would take the Over but I do like the Panthers in this one today. I don't buy into the due theory or anything but Pittsburgh has really played three lackluster games in this tournament so far and with a trip to the Final Four on the line and facing a fellow Big East foe I think they will show up for this one today. Duke was favored over Villanova by 2 1/2 and I certainly believe that Pittsburgh is a better team and they are laying less than Duke is. Of course, this is a by product of the teams play so far in the tournament as Villanova has looked extremely impressive while Pittsburgh struggled. These teams met back in Villanova on January 28th and the Wildcats came away with a 67-57 victory but I found some interesting info in analyzing that game. First off, Pittsburgh was leading at halftime 31-26 and in that game Pittsburgh outrebounded Villanova by a 38-32 margin. Pittsburgh shot terrible in that game, shooting only 40.7% and were only 18.7% from three point range and only 10-17 from the FT line. Pittsburgh for the season averaged 47.9% from the field and 35.4% from three point range and also 67.4% from the FT line. I expect the bigger stronger Panthers to continue their dominance on the boards today but shoot much better in this game. Similar to my writeup in the first game I certainly feel that Villanova is just as capable of a team but I feel that Pittsburgh is the better overall ball club and they will finally get over the hump today and make the team's first Final Four.

Besides the above play I also have one additional 4* selection as well as a 3* selection and you can get that card as well as tomorrow's card by purchasing a daily pass for just $15. Visit me at Procappers Network and check out our other handicappers while you are there as well.
