Pittsburgh vs Clemson Betting Prediction
These two teams come into this matchup tied in the ACC standings with a record of 9-7 in conference play, and they have both played very well over the last few weeks. Clemson will have the home court advantage and they are shooting over 47% from the field, while Pittsburgh is only shooting 43.1% on field goals. We saw the Panthers get absolutely blown out in their last road game against Wake Forest, but they have been decent on the road this year. Pittsburgh has been strong defensively this season and I like them with the points on the road.
