ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but Pittsburgh should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. They are ranked #200 (out of 358) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 11-21. Of the 15 schools in the ACC (average ranking 80.9), they're currently ranked as the worst team in the conference.

Pittsburgh will likely call on their defense to win a majority of their games. The team is ranked 155th in defensive efficiency and allows fewer than 101 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Pittsburgh does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.2% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 13th in the NCAA), and with a rating of 10.45, they're 31st in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well. If Pittsburgh does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's inability to stop opponents from sinking threes. AO will convert 36.0% of their three-point attempts, and the team ranks 43rd-worst in that category because of it.

Pittsburgh doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 231st in offensive efficiency, scoring about 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Pittsburgh 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 338th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 80.08 vs. AO. If Pittsburgh does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of 31.47 vs. AO, which ranks second in the country.

Pittsburgh has been playing some of their worst basketball of the season as of late, and they're presently ranked 348th in positive momentum because of it.

When facing teams that have an offensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 5.36%, Pittsburgh is more efficient than normal 78% of the time. In their other contests, the team is more efficient 29% of the time.
When playing teams that tend to get off more shots, Pittsburgh usually performs better than average. Pittsburgh is more efficient than normal 68% of the time when facing clubs that have an offensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO greater than 84.64. In all other contests, Pittsburgh performs better than average 30% of the time.
Pittsburgh is typically better vs. teams that effectively clean the offensive glass. Against foes that have an offensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 13.13, Pittsburgh performs above their norm 68% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 30% of the time.
