The Pitt men’s basketball team returns to action tonight in a game against Miami. It’s the first ACC game of the year for both teams. The Panthers are hosting the game at The Pete and enter as a very slight favorite (-3, according to ESPN.com).
Both teams are off to relatively good starts but do have some upsets to account for. The Panthers (4-1), of course, were beaten by St. Francis in the opener. Miami (3-1) was topped by Florida Gulf Coast (though the Hurricanes did have some injury issues in that game).
Pitt has faced some excellent three-point shooting teams this year but Miami doesn’t appear to be one of those.
