On the season Pitt is 8-9 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 9-4 and Cincy is 9-10 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 3-13.
Cincy is 10-3 at home this season and Pitt is 3-2 on the road.
The Bearcats have beaten the Panthers in 2 straight games.
After struggling on defense early in the conference season they have stepped up on D and they are holding opponents to an average of 55.4 ppg on 37.9% shooting in their last 7 games. That is not good for a struggling Cincinnati offense that has not shot over 38% from the floor in their last 5 games.
Cincy G Sean Kilpatrick (18.3 ppg) ranks 3rd in the Big East in scoring, but he was only 5/14 from the floor and missed 7 of his 8 3-pointers in the loss to Providence. He and guards Cashmere Wright and JaQuon Parker combined to score 47 points in their win over Pitt earlier this season and they have to shoot the rock well in this game. [ad-6571516]
G Tray Woodall (10.8 ppg) and FW Lamar Patterson (10.2 ppg) are each shooting above 36% from beyond the 3-point arc and they have to hit some long bombs tonight.
Cincy ranks 4th in the nation in rebounds per game with several guys that can hit the glass. Pitt needs to keep the Bearcats from dominating the glass, especially on the offensive end of the floor.
In some betting trends for this Big East match up Piit is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a S.U. win and they have an Over record of 6-2 in their last 8 road games.
Cincinnati is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Under record of 17-5 in their last 22 home games.
The underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 games between these 2 conference rivals.
Jason’s Pick: The Bearcats have not covered the spread in their last 6 games at home, but even coming off a loss I think they will play well on their home floor and win and cover.
