Pitt Panthers vs. West Virginia Mountaineers Prediction

I’m on the Mountaineers here. Pitt’s won the last two backyard brawls on the hardwood, but the thing here is that I feel like West Virginia’s the far better team from a talent perspective between two teams that brought in a ton of transfers in the offseason. West Virginia is also one of the tougher road environments for opposing teams to try to compete in, so I’ll roll with the Mountaineers at home here.
