Pitt vs Notre Dame Game Preview
Why Pitt Will Win
The Panthers are looking like a terrific NCAA Tournament team at just the right time.
The ACC might not be the ACC, but the 8-1 run has been impressive with one of the nation’s most consistent shooting teams – even if it’s not always great from the outside – with the volume threes mattering.
Notre Dame doesn’t force takeaways and doesn’t do anything on the move. Worse yet, it’s not able to get to the line enough to make up for the overall lack of scoring punch, but …

The Irish will shoot their share of threes, too.
Granted, they do that to keep up the pace, but they’re able to hang around lately in losses by doing just enough from the outside to matter.

What’s Going To Happen
Does Senior Night matter for the Irish? Yeah, because this is a team loaded with veterans, and that might mean a wee bit more of a battle in the final home game of the season.
