My apologies if this has been brought up before (I'm still fixated on the football side of the house), but for a really good team, we're not very good at rebounding. Tonight's leading rebounder was CJ with a grand total of 6.
In the Rebounds per Game category, we're 104th in the nation.
I wonder if this is going to ever bite us in the ass.
 
We get less rebounds because we block alot of shots, get alot of steals, and cause alot of turnovers. Personally I'd rather have 3 or 4 more steals a game as opposed to 3 or 4 more defensive rebounds.
 
We play zone and lull teams into shooting a lot of 3's which means a lot of long boards. Seems like a team is gonna need to be hot from outside to beat us given the defensive interior, so if we are giving up a few boards that probably isn't the case. Not sure its a big concern, but on a team with few weaknesses it is one statistical weakness that sticks out.
 
Short answer, no, its not going to bite us in the ass.
