Pittsburgh will have its first true road game of the season. They have one of the best homecourt advantages in the country playing at the Petersen Events Center, where they have been 70-6. The road has been a different story. They have been 25-14 over their last 39, and dropped 5 of their last 6 last year. Their largest winning margin on the road last year was 11 points! Auburn has gotten off to a good start with balanced scoring, as they feature 5 players averaging in double digits. Pittsburhg has to find more reliable offense than just pounding it inside to Aaron Gray, as they connected on just two of 15 from 3 vs Robert Morris. Teams will begin to zone Pitt and clog up the middle if they don't find some perimeter scoring options. Auburn has been highly competitive at home, and have played some tough teams tough including Kentucky and LSU. The Tigers have lost just one time in their last 22 home games by more than this pointspread. So we will take the bushel of points, as Pitt never blows anyone out aon the road, and Auburn never gets blown out at home.
