FiveStarPick.com bounced back from “Black” Saturday with a 2-1 ATS performance on Sunday, and we are looking forward to a few more wins tonight.  The focus of today’s preview is the much anticipated Big East showdown between the two of the top ranked teams in the country.  The Pittsburgh Panthers will make the drive East to Connecticut to face the Huskies today, and even though we’re still a month away from the big tournament, this game should be a great preview of what’s to come next month.  Las Vegas sports books have listed the Huskies as 3-point home favorites with the total set at 134.5.

Pittsburgh (23-2 straight up, 12-6-1 against the spread) comes into this game winning 7 of its last 8 outings this season and are an astounding 6-1 ATS in their last 7.  Pittsburgh put on a clinic last Saturday against the Bearcats shooting 67.4 percent from the field.  The Panthers pushed as 16-point home favorites, 85-69.  Pitt had five players in double digits against the Bearcats.  

Connecticut (24-1 SU, 10-9 ATS) has won 3 consecutive SU contests and 12 SU against Big East competition.  UConn is 8-4 ATS for those 12 games, but bookmakers are making adjustments for UConn which has caused them to post a 1-2 ATS number in their last three games.  In their last game against Seton Hall, the Huskies won 62-54, failing to cover the spread as 9.5-point road favorites.  The Huskies failed to cover the spread in this game mostly because they shot 15 of 27 from the line.  Convert just 2 more of those shots and it’s a cover.  That really pissed us off because we gave UConn to our members. 

Connecticut has won three of its last four home games against the Panthers, covering the spread just once. The ‘under’ is 4-2 in the past six meetings of these conference foes.  The Over is 10-9 for the Panthers this season and 3-1in their last four games.
