Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 850030, member: 405"] We rebounded even with Indiana, who was the best rebounding team in the country at the time. We rebounded even with Baylor, another big physical team. We just rebounded even with St. John's, another athletic, physical team. We failed to pad our stats at the beginning of the season against the lesser teams with smaller front lines, but we often have trouble with "little big men" scooting around our centers in early season games. Last year, I believe we finished around 20-30th in the NCAA in rebounding. That's out of 365 teams. That is like the top 8% in the country. That's very good. Historically, we have been doing very well these past few years (Fab Melo's team was probably the worst of the last four or five years, although they were great at protecting the rim - the Arinze and Rick Jackson senior year teams were also pretty good rebounding teams.)
