The 3-1 Vanderbilt Commodores will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the 2-2 Panthers, who have recovered from their 0-2 start. Vanderbilt has looked dominant in its wins, but was stopped in its offensive tracks against VCU. The Commodores is the favorite in tonight's game, but Pittsburgh is hot and could give them a run for their money.

The Panthers have grinded out their last two wins, but home court advantage has seen to benefit Pittsburgh. Will it be able to get a third straight home win tonight?

Here are the odds for the matchup via WynnBET.

Vanderbilt vs. Pittsburgh Prediction and Pick

Despite having a +10.3 scoring margin, the Commodores do have weaknesses on the offensive side of the ball. They aren’t a great passing team (12 assists per game) and aren’t the most efficient shooting the ball (40.9% shooting as a team). Nevertheless, Pittsburgh is nearly 300th in the country in scoring and are 331st in the country in free throw shooting (24.4%). If the game is close, which I suspect it will be, free throw shooting will be key. The Panthers can’t be trusted from the line and so I have to fade them. 

On top of that, the Panthers are averaging 17 turnovers a game. Giving the ball up and not making free throws to compensate for missed possessions isn’t a good formula to win. Give me Vandy on the road.

Pick: Vanderbilt ML (-150)
