A big key tonight...rebounding

[rrlbees]

And I don't mean the fact we were only out rebounded by 2. What was big in the rebounding stats was;

Triche - 5
Scoop - 5
Waiters - 5

Completely agree. Absent dominant rebounders up front, we need our physical, strong guards [especially Triche, Dion] to contribute on the glass.

We've rebounded pretty well against two very good rebounding teams in a row. Not great, but better than how we'd been rebounding earlier in the year.

We need to keep this up. If we do, we're going to win a lot more games this year.

We still got killed pretty bad on the defensive glass, 16 offensive rebounds for them, 21 defensive boards for us. But we did some really solid work on the offensive glass

I know it isn't that easy, but we really would have one of the 2 or 3 best defenses in the country if we could block out.

If we boxed out Benehan just a couple of times then it wouldn't have been this close. At least we competed...sort of.

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

Now imagine if a couple of our fwds or bigs could GRAB a board cleanly. Do that and hit 4 jump shots and this game is a laugher!

Absolutely. That's what it takes. Instead of leaking out for the fast break the guards were attacking the glass. Probably the best rebounding effort we've seen all year.

There was a 3 point shot that caromed long towards two UL players and out of nowhere Waiters swooped in and snagged it. Haven't seen that rebounding effort from the guards in a long time.

Kris Joseph's rebound in the final minute was HUGE. We limited them to two consecutive possessions without second shots

Exactly, and with us winning the TO margin by 8, that helped us to win the game.

Just a HUGE win for this team.

Cheers,

The guards/Kris have done a much better job of not leaking out since Georgetown.

With the amount of TO's we force we can afford to be outrebounded by 3-4 or even 5 per game.

With the amount of TO's we force we can afford to be outrebounded by 3-4 or even 5 per game.

And the more TO we force, the more likely we are to be outrebounded.
