West Virginia Tested in the Last Game

West Virginia has won the first two games of the season but they were tested in the last game. West Virginia faced off against UMass in the last game and it wasn’t the prettiest game, but they were able to secure the 75-69 victory. In the second half, they were scored 41-30 and they had to hold on late to secure the win. West Virginia shot only 36.8 percent from the field while allowing UMass to shoot 34.8 percent from behind the three-point line. In this game, they need to shoot better. West Virginia will face Iona following this game.

Perfect Start for Pitt

It has been a perfect start for Pitt and they have won all three games. In the last game against Gardner-Webb, Pit scored 83 points and they ended up winning by 19 points. Pitt shot 47 percent from the field and 30 percent from behind the three-point line. Ishmal Leggett had a strong game putting up 21 points, six rebounds, and four assists.

West Virginia vs Pitt Prediction

Give me West Virginia to cover the spread here. Pitt has looked good, but from deep they haven’t been exactly dominant and West Virginia’s defense is going to step up here. West Virginia’s offense is also going to find success stepping up hitting the shots from deep and they are going to come out on top here. This is just too many points. Back West Virginia against the spread here.
