West Virginia at Pittsburgh

There is a lot at stake in tonight's Big East matchup as Pittsburgh hosts West Virginia, which very well could turn out to be an elimination game from NCAA consideration. The Panthers suffered through an eight-game losing streak this season and almost all of it was happening with point guard Trey Woodall on the sidelines. The Panthers are a much better team with him on the floor, and Ashton Gibbs who slumped most of the season has been shooting better as well. West Virginia has two players that generate most of the offense in Kevin Jones and Darryl Bryant, who combine for 37.5 points per game - more than half the Mountaineers offense. Opposing teams have adjusted to the two-headed monster and the Mountaineers have dropped five of their last six. This one should be hard fought, but this has been a tough place to win over the years, so I'm going with Pitt on the moneyline.
