What to Know

The Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes are 7-2 against the Pittsburgh Panthers since February of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. Miami (Fla.) and Pitt will face off in an ACC battle at 8 p.m. ET at Petersen Events Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Panthers winning the first 70-55 and Miami (Fla.) taking the second 79-73.

It was close but no cigar for Miami (Fla.) as they fell 74-71 to the Virginia Cavaliers this past Saturday. Despite the loss, Miami (Fla.) got a solid performance out of guard Kameron McGusty, who had 20 points.

Meanwhile, Pitt was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 68-62 to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Guard Jamarius Burton just could not get things rolling his way, finishing with only four points on 1-for-11 shooting in his 36 minutes on the court.

The Hurricanes are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 7-2 ATS in away games but only 14-13 all in all.

The losses put Miami (Fla.) at 19-8 and Pitt at 11-17. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Miami (Fla.) ranks fifth in college basketball when it comes to turnovers per game, with only 9.5 on average. Less enviably, Pitt is stumbling into the contest with the 19th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 10.6 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against the Panthers.
