and in key situations it should based on some of the outcomes but defense is really this teams issue over the last 9 games. Looking at KenPom’s efficiency metrics Pitt is still 24th in the country in offensive efficiency. That ranking has been pretty consistent all season. Defensive efficiency is at 81 and that number has gone up A LOT in the last 9 games or so.
I thought they played better defensively yesterday but overall defense (which includes rebounding) has cost them way more games than their offense.
