The Pittsburgh Panthers (30-4 SU, 16-11-1 ATS) should be able to make the first step on Thursday by beating the Xavier Musketeers (27-7 SU, 18-12-2 ATS). Not that Xavier isn’t a talented team, but the odds say it all: Pittsburgh is a 7-point favorite.

The Panthers have earned it. This is the No. 2 ranked offense in Division I in terms of efficiency, led by an absolute gem of a point guard in Levance Fields (10.6 points, 7.6 assists per game). Add the superior inside presence of center DeJuan Blair (15.6 points, 12.4 rebounds per game) and the sweet stroke of guard Sam Young (18.9 points per game), and you have a bona fide Big Three.
