Message: [QUOTE="deedougie, post: 2568887, member: 4649"] Since the Wichita State game until last night one stat has been good to determine whether UConn will win or lose a game. Rebounding. “The inconsistency with the rebounding is alarming, and it’s bad,” said Ollie. “We’ve got to do better.” Is it really inconsistency? Actually the stats are very consistent about UConn's chances for a victory is if they win or lose the rebounding battle. Here is the team's rebounding +/- since the Wichita State game and result in () v. Wichita St. -13 (L) v. Tulsa -8 (L) v. ECU +4 (W) v. UCF +2 (W) v. Tulane +9 (W) v. Memphis -15 (L) v. Villanova -16 (L) v. SMU (tied) (W) v. Temple -1 (L) v. UCF -12 (L) v. Cincy -5 (L) v. USF -9 (L) The only outlier is the USF game, where they won the battle but we all know that UConn almost blew that game cause they couldn't board and USF is even worse that UConn. So my two cents of advice for Ollie to finish above .500 this season? "Get your players to box out and grab the damn ball." [/QUOTE]
