In a bit of a slump after a strong start, Pitt packs up and heads just over 75 miles south for its first true road game of the season Wednesday. The Panthers (5-3) will travel to Morgantown, W.Va., to take on former Big East Conference foe West Virginia (3-4) in the latest installment of the Backyard Brawl. Pitt has dropped three of its past four after a 4-0 start to the campaign, with its latest defeat a 79-70 setback against Clemson in the teams' Atlantic Coast Conference opener on Sunday. West Virginia also enters having fallen short in three of its past four. The Mountaineers fell to St. John's 79-73 on Friday in their most recent outing. The Mountaineers have been paced in scoring by either Quinn Slazinski (16.7 points per game) or Jesse Edwards (15.7) in each contest thus far. We think this is more of a defensive battle as both teams have struggled getting their feet underneath them so far, and we will roll with the under.
