Pittsburgh vs Wake Forest Elite CBB Pick 2/1

Pitt Seeks Third Straight Win in Crucial Matchup Against Wake Forest

Riding a wave of momentum, the Pitt Panthers look to extend their winning streak to three games as they travel to Winston-Salem, N.C., to take on Wake Forest in a pivotal ACC showdown on Saturday afternoon.

Pitt (14-6, 5-4 ACC) has bounced back impressively from a four-game losing streak, securing back-to-back victories with a 77-73 triumph over Syracuse last Saturday and a hard-fought 73-65 win against North Carolina on Tuesday. The Panthers’ recent surge has been fueled by strong defensive play and a dynamic backcourt, positioning them as a formidable challenge for the Demon Deacons.

Meanwhile, Wake Forest (15-6, 7-3 ACC) finds itself in a different situation. After rattling off six consecutive wins, the Demon Deacons have stumbled in their last two outings. However, they now return to the friendly confines of LJVM Coliseum, where they have historically dominated Pitt—the Panthers are 0-6 all-time at Wake’s home court.

Key Players to Watch

For Wake Forest, Hunter Sallis leads the offensive charge, averaging 18.6 points per game. Though he recently hit a slight slump, posting just 13.0 points per game over his last three contests, he remains a dangerous scoring threat. Cameron Hildreth adds another layer of stability to the Demon Deacons’ attack, contributing 13.1 points per game.

Pitt counters with a high-powered backcourt featuring Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett. Lowe has been on a tear, averaging 20.2 points over his last five games, while Leggett—who averaged 22.3 points in three matchups against Wake Forest last season—continues to be a key contributor.

Defense Leading the Way for Pitt

While the Panthers have been getting strong offensive performances, head coach Jeff Capel has emphasized that defense has been the true catalyst for the team’s turnaround. Pitt’s ability to win 50-50 balls and come up with key stops was on full display against North Carolina, as they closed the game on a dominant 14-2 run in the final minutes.

As the Panthers aim to rewrite history and notch their first win at LJVM Coliseum, they will need to bring the same defensive intensity against a Wake Forest squad eager to snap its losing skid. With both teams battling for positioning in the ACC, Saturday’s contest promises to be a high-stakes, must-watch matchup.
