Alex Hemenway has been out for Clemson for a while, a former starter. Chase Hunter has missed the last 3 games and is out I think. And Brevin Galloway just had surgery and is for sure out against Florida State. Clemson is a good team, but you cant keep losing guards left and right to injury and expect to keep winning close games, especially when the game is on the road. When you lose 3 of your top 5 scorers, things get impacted severely. If Clemson had a tougher acc schedule, their record wouldn't be nearly as good as what it is right now with the injury issues they currently now face.
Torvik has the Pitt line at -1.9. Personally, Ive thought Miami has been overrated all season because of an easy schedule and I have called for them to partially collapse in the past and come back to the bubble. RPI and the polls like Miami, Torvik and Pomeroy think Miami is overrated. Miami's road record is 4-3. Both Pitt and Miami were red hot shooting last game, both should come back to earth next game. This game to me is a coin flip, but I have doubts Miami shoots it on the road red hot again in back to back road games, even against an average defense that we have. Miami is also one of the worst defensive rebounding teams in the country, an area where we should get 2nd chance points against them. Pitt needs to control the defensive glass and limit 2nd chance points. Do that, and I like our chances if we dont turn the ball over a lot.
