Getting killed on the boards lately

[Westcoast]

Gotta turn that around if we want to grab some road wins. And need to board with Michigan to have a shot at the Garden.

Agree...but we’ve only lost once in how long?

 

[Westcoast]

My main worry is we've played 6 at home and only 4 on the road. We're not sneaking up on anyone anymore. So we need to out work teams and you see that primarily in rebounding totals. Gotta get back to out rebounding teams. That will give us a shot in almost every game.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Yeah we’re still winning games. Now we have five days off. I agree, don’t get me wrong, but I’m pretty sure that will be righted before Saturday!

When I read the title of the thread, I thought the OP was posting on other teams message boards and they were giving him a hard time!

a concern yes but we are winning in other ways. Tonight 39-29 obviously was why Purdue was able to hang in and 16-5 offensive was bad but they are a great rebounding team, some teams will have advantages over RU at times. I think tonight it was almost as if we didnt go for those offensive rebounds, almost as if the strategy was to get back and D up

The rebounding had been trending down. I expect Pike to address it

 

[Degaz-RU]

Four games in a row that we have been out rebounded I believe.

When MJ is not on the floor, it's noticeable

Carter cannot grip the ball, he tips it when he should have an easy rebound
