Notre Dame at Pittsburgh

The Big East games are always a war and it will be the case again tonight as a pair of 20 win teams battle for supremacy. Jaime Dixon's teams are known for toughness, especially at home where they play a very sticky physical defense. The last four Big East opponents, which include Syracuse, to step on this floor have averaged 54.3 ppg. The Irish have seen their stats inflate with three of their last five games playing in overtime and a five OT session that saw over 80 points scored vs. Louisville. The truth is the Irish have played eight of their last nine games that did not go to overtime to the UNDER. Notre Dame also owns a remarkable 23-4-1 mark to the UNDER on the road vs. a team that has a home winning percentage of over .600 with each of the last four in this series playing shy of the total. Play the UNDER.
