Hit POD Monday with PITT, looking to make it 2 in a row with:
POD: St. Louis -3
St. Louis is not a hard team to figure out, they generally don't score or allow many points, struggle on the road (2-6), and play solid at home (11-2). But since losing a tough 1 point game at Dayton nearly 2 weeks ago, the Billikens have really picked it up, winning three games in a row, including two road games, while averaging 88 ppg (2 O.T. games). The Billikens as I have mentioned earlier are always solid at home, where they are 11-2 SU and 4-3 ATS this season and 35-9 SU over the past 3 seasons. This season, Rick Majerus' team is outscoring opponents at home by 11 ppg, averaging 64 ppg on 44% shooting and allowing 53 ppg on 40% shooting. St. Louis, led by 6-2 Sr. G Kevin Lisch (13.8 ppg) and 6-4 Sr. G Tommie Liddell (12.8 ppg 6.2 rpg), is peaking at the right time.
Charlotte (8-14 SU, 6-13 ATS) is in a prime spot for a let down game, after a huge home win over Dayton their last time and they take to the road where they have struggled mightily all season long, going 2-6 SU and 2-5 ATS scoring 67 ppg on 42% shooting, while allowing 77 ppg on 44% shooting. In fact, over the past 3 seasons, Charlotte is only 8-24 SU and 12-18 ATS on the highway. As bad as Charlotte is on the road, they are worse in St. Louis, where they are 1-8 SU and 0-8 ATS since 1997. Charlotte has struggled in conference games as well, starting out 2-6 SU and 1-7 ATS scoring only 64 ppg on 37% shooting while allowing 71 ppg on 43 % shooting. Needless to say, this is not a good spot for Charlotte.

Good Luck,
