Pittsburgh’s offense is trending slightly downward recently, partly due to the struggles of Aaron Gray. In 9 of the past 10 games he has either picked up 4 fouls or been held to 10 or fewer points. The one game where he avoid both those fates was their best offensive game in that stretch. If he can stay out of foul trouble and get involved in the offense, they should be able to score. He needs to avoid fouls for their defense to succeed as well - they haven’t had a dominating game in that 10-game stretch, either. If they play like the have recently, they’ll win a couple games, but they need step up their offensive effort if they have hopes of a Final Four trip.
