Pittsburgh vs Stanford Prediction
I’ll stick with Stanford. The Cardinal had a close escape versus NC State over the weekend despite posting a nice 48.5 percent shooting from the field, 33 rebounds and a 40-36 advantage on points in the paint. Stanford gave up 48.1 percent shooting on the other side though, and got burned by a pretty good shooting performance at the line (25-of-34 for 73.5 percent) by the Wolfpack. Stanford has won four straight games now, and they’ve scored 85 or more points in each of the last three.
These teams last met up back on February 25 in a 75-67 home win for Stanford. In that one the Cardinal shot a nice 50 percent from the field and a perfect 10-of-10 at the line with a 28-26 rebounding advantage and a 42-24 edge in the paint. Stanford did give up 49 percent shooting on defense though, so they’ll want to focus on getting that number down in this tournament rematch.
