Defense is great and all but if you can’t rebound any better than this last year’s team it doesn’t do much good. Our rebounding was absolutely horrible this last season. Larry’s teams have historically not be great rebounding teams but this last season we were dead last in BOTH offensive and defensive rebounds. Allowing offensive rebounds is usually worse than a turnover since the opponent gets the ball usually near the paint and not in open court. The scoring percentage is usually much higher. This team needs to get stronger, tougher and taught how to get proper position to rebound the basketball.
Sorry for the rant but it is a pet peeve of mine! Maybe watch some film of Baylor and Houston in the off season might help.
