The West Virginia Mountaineers had won four on the bounce before taking a 66-56 loss to Florida. They shot just 29.7 percent in the defeat and here they'll face a Pittsburgh team which ranks third in the ACC in field-goal percentage defense at 37.9 percent.

The Panthers are 7-2 SU and ATS on the season and they should be fired up for this after a 1-point loss as a 16.5-point favorite against Niagara on Monday.

"As a team, we probably thought we were a little better than we were," senior Jared Wilson-Frame said afterwards. "I'm pretty sure we'll be ready for (West Virginia), let alone what happened today. Everybody who watches college basketball or is a part of college basketball knows the importance of that rivalry and how big it is, not only to the cities, but the programs and schools behind them. I don't think there's going to be much talking. We're just going to be focused and ready to fight. It's called a brawl for a reason."

Look for the Panthers to cover he spread and potentially win outright here in the Backyard Brawl.
