The Panthers (15-1, 3-0) were ranked fifth heading into Monday’s rankings, and they could move up after an 89-81 win over Marquette at home. Ashton Gibbs led the way with 19 points, while Brad Wanamaker added 15 points, six assists and five assists for the Panthers, who shot a ridiculous 60% from the field, including 10 of 18 attempts from beyond the arc.

Those betting on NCAA football watched the Pitt gridiron suffer through a terrible season, on and off the field, but they stepped to get a big bowl win. Now, the attention turns to coach Jamie Dixon and the basketball team, who should be harboring serious national-title dreams this season, and they’re off to a great start.

We can’t say the same for the Hoyas (12-4, 1-3), who were ranked 13th but will probably fall after a 65-59 loss at home to West Virginia, their third loss in four games. Jason Clark paced the team with 16 points, while Austin Freeman was held to 11 points for the Hoyas, who shot 50% from the floor, but they were outrebounded 29-20, and managed to get to the free-throw line 11 times, compared to 24 for the Mountaineers.

The Hoyas made some bad mistakes down the stretch for a veteran team, and they lost their aggressiveness. They’ll need a big performance on Wednesday, or their Big East season will be in big, big trouble.

The NCAA basketball betting odds in your pay per head sportsbook will be close in this game as the Hoyas are 3-1 SU in their last four at home against the Panthers, but only 2-2 ATS. The Panthers won their first road game of the season, an 83-79 victory at Providence, but this will be their first big test of the season. This will be a game fought on the perimeter, as Gibbs and Wanamaker will go up against Clark and Freeman, but the Panthers have a slight edge as they’re a much better rebounding team than the Hoyas, who have long shed their tag of being an inside team.

The Panthers are third in the nation on the glass, while the Hoyas are 223rd, and that’s going to be the difference. Everyone hits the boards for the Panthers, while Georgetown seems to be, well, soft, to be frank. Take the Panthers on the road in your sports betting book.
