Interesting work here by RTC.
Pittsburgh Offensive Efficiency – 114.1 (#24 in the NCAA)
N.C. State Defensive Efficiency – 100.4 (#110)N.C. State Offensive Efficiency – 109.5 (#66)
Pittsburgh Defensive Efficiency – 92.5 (#11)What to Watch For: In its first ACC conference game ever, Pitt looks to have a strong edge on the offensive end of the court. In particular, look for the Panthers to try to exploit the Wolfpack on the boards. Pitt comes in 11th in the country in offensive rebounding percentage, while N.C. State is 237th in defensive rebounding percentage. Another area to watch is the mismatch in free throw attempts. N.C. State ranks near the bottom of the NCAA in free throw attempts, while Pitt rarely fouls. In fact, the Panthers actually had a game earlier this year against Cal Poly in which Pitt did not commit a single first half foul.
Knowing what I know about college basketball officiating, I think I would change the wording of that last statement from “in which Pitt did not commit a single foul” to “in which Pitt was not CALLED for a single foul”
