Analysis
Wake Forest is coming into this game with an 11-9 record this season and they are 2-5 in the conference. They have not been playing well in their recent games as they have lost their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games, but they have also had a tougher schedule in that span with 4 of their last 5 games coming against some of the better teams in the ACC, UNC, Duke, Miami, and SMU. They have not been great on the road this year at 1-3, coming off of a 90-69 loss against Duke in their last game, but prior to that they beat Florida State on the road and only lost by 3 against UNC. They are going up against a Pittsburgh team that is 8-12 this season and they are 1-6 in the conference. They have not been playing well recently as they have lost their last 3 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 games. Their defense has not been great in these as they have allowed 80+ points in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games, but their offense has also been awful as they have been held under 70 points in 2 of their last 3 games as well. They have also been awful at home this season at 6-7 and they have lost their last 4 straight games there, losing all 4 of their conference games at home. Their last 3 home losses have all been by 9+ points as well and they have allowed 80+ points in all 3 of those. Pittsburgh has not been shooting well this season either so Wake Forest is going to have the edge with their shooters. Wake Forest will cover the spread in this game.
