DID YOU KNOW: UConn is ranked first among Division I teams with an offensive rebound percentage of 42.2 percent?

I didn't.

Our weakness in rebounding from several years ago is now our strength. Now if we can get Adama with more minutes played, he can even improve these rebounding stats.

When was the last time UConn was ranked first in something (positive)? 2014?

Huskies are back! The rest of the country will be put on notice.

Martin is leading the Big East in rebounds per. I’m not sure if this was by design but this team is built for second chance opportunities. We can do a little better converting on them though.

I didn't until I read this article yesterday.

The Huskies (4-1, 1-1) haven’t had the chance to play that many games and reap the benefits that would have come with it, but in their smaller sample size they have played well enough to be taken seriously, getting a couple of votes in the AP poll that came out Monday. UConn’s defense, which has allowed the fewest points per game (65.4) and 3-point percentage (27.4) in the conference, has been the trademark so far, and the Huskies lead the nation with 16.2 offensive rebounds per game.

“We miss a lot, so we get a lot of practice at it,” Hurley joked.

In first road trip since March, Dan Hurley, UConn men look for the right Isaiah Whaley to show vs. Marquette

Isaiah Whaley was a delightful surprise for the UConn men’s basketball team last season, and an X-factor for opponents. Five well-spaced games into this season, the Huskies are looking for th…

Tom Moore is an offensive rebounding coaching legend.

He was at UConn until '07 in this graphic.

There may be some truth in Hurley's comment yesterday, that they get more OR practice than most, because they miss alot. ?

When will you diehards acknowledge that Carlton and Whaley are both excellent rebounders
Carlton averaged 6.1 in 21 minutes
Whaley a hair less in similar minutes
CV led the team with 6.2 in but in 32minutes

bouknight is a sneaky good offensive rebounder. seems to slink in for a putback out of nowhere at least once per game.

I think the reference was to the Ollie years. Those teams were atrocious at rebounding. Even in Hurley’s first two years the team as a whole wasn’t an excellent rebounding team. Yes Carlton and Whaley improved their rebounding under Hurley but the team as a whole hasn’t been this good at rebounding in a while.

Imagine how much higher we could be ranked if we didn't play small

 

[Palatine]

Carlton is a very good offensive rebounder. Top five, ORPG, in the conference last two years. He is tied for third, ORPG, in the BE so far this year.
