[QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 2972673, member: 78"]
Since 2010-11, we give up the most offensive rebounds.  Teams have different opportunities to offensive rebound.  Some good teams score too easily to need offensive rebounds so I divide opponents offensive rebounds by opponents misses.  It's still pretty bad.  We're 44th (too perfect) and the other schools around us are pitiful sub mid majors.

31% of our opponents misses are rebounded by opponents.  Michigan state is near the top at 23%

Since 2010-11, we're tenth in the country in highest percentage of opponents' shots being three pointers.  It would seem like the more three pointers an opponent takes, the more offensive rebounds you'd give up (a little more up for grabs) but the stats don't really show that correlation

Zone haters will now stop hating posts with simple measures and say AHA

We have 44 games (!!) where we've given up 15+ offensive rebounds since 2010-11 and we we have the 7th most wins among teams who've given up 15 or more offensive rebounds.  Louisville, Kansas, and Duke are name schools with more.  Our record in those games is 29-15.  Duke's is 33-10.  Kansas 29-6

We are 97th in losses when giving up that many.

Tough guys are offended by offensive rebounds  - it doesn't matter to them how important they are.  They love to say "BOX OUT".  I think Boeheim has intuition about what's important and what isn't and part of the reason he uses the zone is because other coaches put too much weight on offensive rebounding
