After falling just short of a last second victory over Auburn in the Riviera Cancun Challenge, the Northwestern Wildcats take on the Pittsburgh Panthers in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. The Tigers are the best team the Wildcats have played to date, and they slowed the game to their pace and held Auburn's explosive offense in check.
Jeff Capel's Pitt team has not fared well with top-100 KenPom teams. They are 4-3 on the season, but lost a tight one to VCU and struggled mightily in 20+ point losses to Michigan and West Virginia. Northwestern is more so under that sphere of competition, but the line to target here will be the total.
Northwestern and Pitt will be aligned with pace and defense. Pitt is a solid rebounding team and can limit Northwestern to only one shooting opportunity each time down the floor. Northwestern will do the same.
The Wildcats are top 10 in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. They defend both the arc and interior extremely well, and since Pitt is not an offensive juggernaut, they should do the same here.
