2014 NCAA Tournament Free Picks<\/strong> ATS Matchup Stats<\/a> | Gambling Insight!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In the 2nd round of the South Region the 9th seed Pittsburgh Panthers face the 8th seed Colorado Buffaloes. Colorado did make it to the Pac 12 semifinals, but they lost 3 of their last 4 regular season games. Pitt also did not end the season well, but they made an impressive run the ACC semifinals upsetting a ranked North Carolina team in the process.<\/p>\n Pitt had a good first season in the ACC finishing 5th in the conference and they are the 6-point favorites in this game.<\/p>\n Lamar Patterson (17.6 ppg) leads the Panthers in scoring and he must play well tonight and has not shot over 50% from the floor in his last 2 games.<\/p>\n Colorado has overcome adversity this season, as they have made the Big Dance even though they lost leading scorer Spencer Dinwiddie to a knee injury. The Buffaloes are not a high scoring team and they will need good games from Josh Scott (14.1 ppg) and Askia Booker (14 ppg).<\/p>\n The Panthers have had problems this season ranked teams only winning 1 of 4 games facing top 25 squads. Colorado was only 2-6 facing ranked teams, but they did beat Kansas this season. Colorado has to play good D in this game, as they do not have\u00a0 good FG% ranking 209th in the nation in team FG%.<\/p>\n The winner of this game will have the tall task of taking on top-ranked Florida, who have won 26 straight games.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall, 0-6 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games, and they have an Over record of 5-1 in their last 6 games.<\/p>\n Colorado is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games, 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games, and they have an Under record of 6-0 in their last 6 games.<\/p>\n Colorado played more ranked teams this season, but Pitt played in a tougher conference and since they have been playing well I am taking them to win and cover the 6-point spread.<\/p>\n Pitt<\/strong> Colorado<\/strong> Pitt vs CU Preview Pittsburgh is 12-17-2 ATS with an O\/U record of 19-11 and Colorado is 18-15 ATS with an O\/U record of 15-17.\u00a0In their last games Pittsburgh lost to Virginia 51-48 and Colorado lost to Arizona 63-43.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":63952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1415],"tags":[61353,9001,9000,3712,965,61478,2292,3423,61476,61477,61423,11943],"class_list":["post-73991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-basketball","tag-2014-ncaa-tournament","tag-buffaloes","tag-colorado","tag-colorado-buffaloes","tag-panthers","tag-panthers-vs-buffaloes","tag-pitt","tag-pitt-panthers","tag-pitt-panthers-vs-colorado-buffaloes","tag-pitt-vs-colorado","tag-second-round","tag-south-region"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/193"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73991"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73991\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74027,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73991\/revisions\/74027"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
