​

The first thing that stands out is 3 point differential
Last year it was a plus 2.3 per game and this year it is a negative 1.6
Offensive rebounds is another area that has flipped from plus 2.5 to negative .9

​

Again a good 3 point advantage (9.7-8)
Also a superior shooting team for both 2 and 3 pointers
Great 2 point and good overall defense

If you count top 5 league categories
22-23 17
23-24 14
24-25 7

Makes DT’s point that this team can’t rely on a consistent strength to close out games

Quit deceiving yourselves, Pitt just isn’t that good as you think they are, they are right there with the football team, mediocre. After all, they are Pitt

I like to see the data to support the results and I think this shows some of it especially how good the 22-23 team was

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

I like to see the data to support the results and I think this shows some of it especially how good the 22-23 team was

1. 23-24
2. 22-23
3. 24-25

The previous 2 teams were better. But this team may get in and may get a better seed because the bubble is weaker right now and we beat WVU and OSU in November as opposed to getting killed by WVU & Mich in November 2 years ago and losing to Missouri in November last year. We were good in November and that may be all it takes.

This team has 2 fatal flaws. Rebounding and perimeter defense so it's hard to be a good team if you cant rebound and you give up open shots.
