Stanford vs Pittsburgh prediction
Stanford vs Pittsburgh best bet
Stanford vs Pittsburgh best bet: Stanford -5 (-116)
The Pittsburgh Panthers' turnover rate is a massive story, as they're 243rd with a -0.6 turnover ratio. That's a disaster against a Stanford Cardinal team that converts in transition at such a high clip.
Every Pitt live-ball turnover is a fast break bucket waiting to happen.
Ebuka Okorie dropped 34 points in Stanford's win two weeks ago, and the Cardinal's transition attack is elite enough to turn this game into a track meet the Panthers can't keep up with.
The Cardinal have more motivation here, needing just one win to assure a tournament bid in the eyes of most bracketologists.
