Tough opening game for the Panthers going on the road after a 10 day layoff with a talented but young Syracuse team.
I’m expecting this one to get up and down with both teams pushing pace and Mintz continually attacking the rim and pressuring our guards to constrain the dribble drive. Key for Pitt will be to limit the other Syracuse scorers.
Prediction: 79-75 Pitt
GDG scores 10+
Carrington 3+ threes
Zach Austin provides scoring spark off the bench
