College basketball lines on the Pittsburgh Panthers at SBG Global this season will be higher since the Panthers have to replace three starters including All-Big East center Aaron Gray.
Fans that bet basketball lines may know that the Panthers made it to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in the last six years. College basketball lines experts know that the Panthers are the only Big East team to have played in the last six NCAA tourneys and win more than 20 games overall and 10 in league play in each of those years. Experts that follow college basketball lines know it will not be that easy this season. Head coach Jamie Dixon must rebuild a bit. Fans of college basketball lines see that senior Mike Cook is the top returning scorer.
Last season, he averaged 10.5 points in his first Pittsburgh Panthers season after transferring from East Carolina. Experts that bet college basketball lines see that the other returning starter is point guard Levance Fields. He averaged 9.2 points and 4.6 assists a year ago as fans of basketball lines remember. Moving into the starting lineup according to college basketball lines experts will be guard Ronald Ramon who averaged 8.8 points a game last season. Upfront the Panthers have Keith Benjamin and Sam Young. Many experts that bet college basketball lines think that Young, who averaged 7.2 points and 3 boards per game, can be a force this year. Tyrell Biggs may also do better.
Newcomers according to college basketball lines experts include six-seven DeJuan Blair who should play upfront. Junior Cassin Diggs and 6-10 freshman Gary McGhee, will play at center. Shooting guard Bradley Wanamaker is expected to contribute according to college basketball lines experts. Darnell Dodson may also play. The Panthers plan to play strong defense according to experts that bet college basketball lines. Last season in Big East games, as fans of basketball lines remember, the Panthers were second in scoring defense (60.6) and rebound margin (+5.1). They held 14 of their 16 Big East opponents under 70 points.
The newcomers will need to make an impact if the Panthers are to cover college basketball lines this season. Top freshman Blair along with Diggs and McGhee will need to perform. The Panthers may have a difficult time against the college basketball lines this season because they lost so much, but Dixon is a good coach and the Panthers won’t far fall. They will still make an impact on the basketball lines board this year.
