Pitt led the league with a 3.39 PPG last year.
The Oilers were 8th at 2.96. League average was 2.71
Sure, they were in the top 10, but it's not like we're talking about some kind of offensive dynamo that outscore defensive deficiencies.
Any slip up from Talbot and they will be exposed as the one-dimensional team that they are.
