Randy’s Pick

The Binghamton Bearcats didn’t show much in their loss to Northwestern, and you can argue they’re playing an even more talented team here. The Pittsburgh Panthers looked strong at both ends of the floor in their season opener, and it could be a sign to an improved season. Binghamton doesn’t have the playmakers to counter this Pitt defense. If the shots continue to fall, Pitt should start 2-0 with back-to-back blowouts.
