Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3296260, member: 7894"] Really? Outrebounded their opponents 42 to 32.8 per game last year (O boards about even, grabbed approx. 300 more D boards than their opponents). That's almost exactly the same stats as the previous year when they had Gulich patrolling the paint. As long as Rueck has been there, their defense is predicated on getting their opponent to take shots they don't want to take, and securing the defensive rebound. It's been working well for quite a while now. Not sure what you're referring to. Pivec did lead them in rebounding and may do so again, but Corosdale also averaged almost 8/game. You gotta figure the rotation of Jones/Brown/Morris (and Mitrovic if healthy) is going to be a lot more mobile and better at rebounding than Grymek. And Washington will probably play less minutes, rebounding is not her strong suit. I would guess that Pivec won't need to grab as many boards this year as she did last season. [/QUOTE]
