ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh is one of the teams in the upper echelon of college basketball this year. They have a record of 22-11 and are ranked 25th overall (out of 362) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of 15) in the ACC (average ranking 63.7).
Pittsburgh has a reasonably potent offensive attack. Occupying the #28 slot in our offensive efficiency rankings, they will score about 116 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Pittsburgh is one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked fourth in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 91.90 vs. AO. As far as making those field goal attempts goes, the team is somewhat middle-of-the-road, converting about 44.9% of them vs. AO. Pittsburgh also does a pretty good job of protecting the ball when they have possession and not allowing quick and easy baskets off of their own turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 9.01, which ranks #27 in the country.
Pittsburgh plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 46th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 98 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Pittsburgh does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank 24th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 31.0% of their attempts from afar. Pittsburgh is also one of the better teams when it comes to not allowing opponents to convert scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 4.2% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 37th in the NCAA), and with a rating of 11.28, they're 39th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well.
Pittsburgh has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #45 ranking in positive momentum. On the road, Pittsburgh performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 47th in our away-from-home metric.
