Other than horrendous shot selection, my biggest frustration in this game was rebounding.  RU beat us on the glass 42-26 overall and doubled us up on offensive rebounds.  That contributes to fatigue, when you are forced to defend multiple times per sequence.  I look with envy at guys like Myles Johnson and even the Elisias guy from Bryant.  Neither one is an elite big man.  But against certain teams, you need more than length.  You need a wide-body in the middle who is harder to go through or around.  Or can deliver a hard foul.  Or simply takes up space in the lane, allowing a teammate to get to the rebound.  That kind of guy is not perfect for the zone but situationally can have a role.

RU was pretty physical, even their guards.  We coulda used a Johnson-type guy tonight.  I realize Sidibe would have helped on the boards, but even he is not an intimidating presence in the paint.  Recruiting a player or two like the guys like I described should not be hard, yet we rarely seem to have one.
