Pittsburgh at DePaul

Pitt will bring the #7 ranked team in the country to DePaul tonight, as DePaul will try to slowdown the Panthers. This is a different Pitt team than we have seen in the past. Pitt is usually a very physical strong-willed defensively assertive type team. This team is more of a finesse type team, that is more reliant on offense than defense. What has gotten it done for the Panthers is 50%FG shooting and over 40% on 3's. This DePaul team has not lost at home, and holds opponents to 40% shooting. They won at Villonova by holding the Wildcats to 38% shooting. we look for them to ride the emotion of the home crowd, and limit what Pitt does best, and that's hitting 3's and shooting a high percentage.
