ANALYSIS:
If you see Pittsburgh on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. They have a record of 8-24 and are ranked 243rd overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the worst team (out of 15) in the ACC (average ranking 55.7).

Pittsburgh is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 96 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #278 in offensive efficiency. Pittsburgh poses no threat whatsoever to grab rebounds off their own misses. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 9.94 in potential points scored off of second chances (339th nationally). Pittsburgh also happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked 332nd in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 77.73 vs. AO.

Though they rate better on defense than they do on offense, Pittsburgh still isn't one of the more capable defensive teams in college hoops. Allowing roughly 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #193 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Pittsburgh gives up far too many offensive rebounds and second chances to their opponents. The club has a rating of 17.47 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (330th nationally). Pittsburgh is also extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #329 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.63 vs. AO.
