PITT’S OUTLOOK
Pitt has won three-straight games, beating Virginia Tech, Eastern Kentucky, and Sam Houston. The Panthers are looking for their second ACC win, and it comes against Cal, who has lost four of its last five games, including a 21-point defeat at the hands of San Diego State on Saturday, Dec. 21.
In that game, Jeremiah Wilkinson led the way with 13 points, going 3 for 11 from the field. Star Andrej Stojakovic went just 2 for 12 in the game, scoring ten points. The entire team only had four assists in that game against the Aztecs. Mady Sissoko led the way with 11 rebounds.

CAL PREVIEW
The Golden Bears are projected to finish as one of the worst teams in the ACC. In year one in the league, they dropped their first conference matchup to nearby Stanford, another newcomer. In that game, Cal scored 81 points, but it was not enough.
Stojakovic is the name to know for Cal. Against Stanford, he shot the ball 25 times, going 11 for 25 and scoring 25 points. Jovan Blacksher (5’11 PG) and Mady Sissoko (6’9 C) have also had strong starts to the season.
