Pittsburgh Upsets Villanova at BetLM

Pittsburgh Upsets Villanova

Pitts­burgh, ranked 19th in the nation, upset No. 3 Vil­lanova 70–65 on Sun­day as Ash­ton Gibbs scored 21 points and Gilbert Brown added 16 more to give the Pan­thers a five point victory.

Vil­lanova were, deservedly, odds on favorites to win at Lines­Maker at –2 and took 64% of the bet­ting vol­ume. The Pan­thers (21–6, 10–4 Big East) were knocked-out by the Wild­cats last year in a drama filled Big East matchup when Scot­tie Reynolds’ last-second dash to the bas­ket took the Wild­cats to a 78–76 vic­tory and into the Final Four.

On Sun­day the Pan­thers man­aged to hold off Reynolds, he fin­ished with 20 points, man­aged three foul shots in the last 7 sec­onds which got the Wild­cats (22–4, 11–3) within three, but Pan­ther did not bend under Villanova’s pres­sure. Pittsburgh’s odds at Lines­Maker are a long shot to win the NCCA Cham­pi­onships at +6000 but if they can keep this momen­tum up they may be a great bet. Is Vil­lanova with odds of +1000 slip­ping? They have now dropped two straight games for the first time in two years.
