West Virginia made easy work of the Pittsburgh Panthers this past Friday and carried off an 81-56 victory. The oddsmakers were on West Virginia's side, but they didn't give the squad enough credit as the margin was unexpectedly wide. They got double-digit scores from four players: guard Joe Toussaint (18), guard Erik Stevenson (16), forward Mohamed Wague (11), and forward Emmitt Matthews Jr. (10).
Meanwhile, Morehead State was able to grind out a solid win over the Bellarmine Knights this past Saturday, winning 62-55.
This next matchup looks promising for West Virginia, who are favored by a full 19 points. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.
Their wins bumped the Mountaineers to 2-0 and the Eagles to 2-1. This past Friday West Virginia relied heavily on Joe Toussaint, who had 18 points and five assists. It will be up to Morehead State's defense to limit his damage.
