Picking tonight's game between the Mountaineers and Panthers.
head north for the Backyard Brawl to take on the Pitt Panthers Friday night at the Peterson Events Center for the 191st meeting in the series. Tip-off is set for 8:00 p.m. EST, and the action will stream on ESPN+.Win or lose, this game is not going to be the determining factor of how good this team will be in 2024-25. This group is only going to get better as the season moves along and unfortunately, the Backyard Brawl comes a few games earlier than Darian DeVries would probably like.
Pitt's backcourt is loaded with talent, headed by Ishmael Leggett, who is shooting an absurd 68% from the field and 45% from three-point land. He's more than just a scorer though. He's the complete package. He'll stick his nose in the paint and rebound, create plays for his teammates, and be a pest on the defensive end.
Pitt wins, but West Virginia shows a lot of encouraging signs for a group that hasn't played much basketball together.West Virginia head coach Darian DeVries will get his first taste of the Backyard Brawl, along with 14 new members of the basketball program. The Mountaineers were tested last week against a Frank Martin led UMass squad, which prepared them to take a Pitt team that’s hoping to be more physical. However, Pitt has not been tested despite struggling against Murray State, although they did pull away late.
