Pittsburgh is an average plus-13.9 on the glass.

Pitt coach Jamie Dixon’s usual goal had been for his team to outrebound opponents by 10 per game. This season, Dixon has upped the ante, setting different goals before every game. Sometimes, the goal is 15, sometimes, it is 20.

"We're trying to challenge the guys with the numbers," Dixon said of the new goals. "It's something we talked about last year. We ended up second. We're first again this year. It's something we've done year after year. It's our strength, and we need to continue to play to it and continue to build off it and not be satisfied."
