Pitt vs. Stanford Key Players to Watch

Ebuka Okorie, Guard, Stanford Cardinal

Ebuka Okorie is one of the most impressive freshmen in the country this season. The Cardinal guard ranks fifth in the nation with 23.1 points per game, and he dropped 34 in the first meeting against Pitt.

In fact, that game started a final four stretch of 34, 22, 24, and 33 points to end the regular season for Okorie. Keep an eye on the potential first-round pick in this one.

Pitt vs. Stanford Prediction and Pick

The Pitt Panthers finished the year strong, at least for them, going 3-2 in their last five games after a five-game skid. However, the Cardinal were even better.

Stanford ended the regular season with four straight wins, including an upset victory at North Carolina State. In fact, it won six of its final eight games, only losing as underdogs at Wake Forest and at Cal.

Pitt has been able to keep games close recently, but I could see Stanford pulling away late. I’m not going to risk the -4.5 but rather pay the juice on the Cardinal on the moneyline to win and advance.

Pick: Stanford moneyline (-182)
