Pitt enters as a heavy favorite in this ACC matchup after opening its season with a dominant 95-57 home win over Rider, fueled by efficient three-point shooting at 53.8 percent and strong play from freshman Chase Foster’s 23-point debut and transfer Jonathan Powell. The Panthers, preseason projections placing them near the middle of the conference, showed improved ball movement with 21 assists against 10 turnovers. Buffalo arrives after a lopsided 92-65 loss at Marshall, where transfers Antoine Lorick and Drew Steffe provided scoring and rebounding but the remainder of the roster shot poorly from the field and beyond the arc. Pitt’s home-court advantage at Petersen Events Center and recent offensive momentum shape trader consensus around the Panthers’ edge in this early-season contest.
