Pittsburgh at Duquesne

Pittsburgh may be one of the most underrated teams in the nation at this point of the season. They come in at 7-0, and may be the surprise team in the NCAA this season. The Panthers go nine players deep; as all of their top nine players are contributing and getting at least 13 minutes which will help prevent the frenetic style of Duquesne to wear them down. The Panthers are also a tough team to turnover committing just 11 per game. What they do best is what they have done best for years - defend. Opponents are shooting just 35.8% against them and under 28% from the arc. Duquesne is no longer a secret with their up-tempo style. Last year they surprised many and won five straight, but soon after dropped eight in a row. They have not met anyone with the quality and strength of Pitt since then, so their 6-1 start is not surprising. Line value to be found here and we will ride the Panthers.
