Pittsburgh Scouting Report — ESPN 3/16

Offensive Preference	Their balanced attack starts with Fields, who can both score and set up his teammates. Young is the go-to scorer and Blair is a dominant presence down low.
Defensive Philosophy	The Panthers’ stingy man-to-man defense is holding teams to under 64 points per game. They’ve held 25 of their 31 opponents to 70 points or fewer.
Secret Strength	The Panthers don’t have a rotation player taller than 6-8, but they dominate the glass. They outrebound teams by almost eleven per game–best in the nation–and Blair is tops in the country at almost six offensive boards per game.
Achilles’ Heel	The Panthers take the “free” out of free throws, hitting just over 67 percent from the foul line.
Will Lose When …	Blair gets into foul trouble. He averaged just over 23 minutes in Pitt’s three losses and fouled out of two of them.
Famous Last Words	The Panthers are playing as well as anyone in the country and should be a Final Four team. The fact that Young is usually mentioned after Fields and Blair tells you just how loaded this team is. They absolutely have a chance to cut down the nets in Detroit.
