This is an 8* play on PITTSBURGH

Something will have to give here when Pittsburgh hosts Notre Dame in the final regular season game for both ACC teams. Pitt is 2-15 in conference play and has lost 13 in a row. They are in last place. Just one game ahead is Notre Dame, who has lost six straight. Can you believe Pitt actually holds early season wins over Louisville and NC State? There are many reasons why the Panthers have hit the skids, but the bottom line is they've lost a lot of close games as well. Believe it or not, this is actually an improvement from last year when they didn't win a single ACC game. As the home team Saturday, we expected them to have more motivation. Ending this losing streak in the final home game is a big deal. As poorly as Pitt has shot the basketball, Notre Dame has shockingly been worse at only 37.4% in ACC play. The Fighting Irish have just two wins outside of South Bend all season. A two-point loss to Clemson in their own home finale (Wednesday) could have a demoralizing effect. Play on PITTSBURGH
