[I][B]Cincinnati has excellent rebounding technique.  Watch the forwards off the ball, and they are using swim moves, and breaking contact with the box out, to get inside of UConn's more athletic front court, and especially Akok, while the ball is in the air.  This is something that will get better for Akok with time, but Cincinnati was impressive on the boards last night.[/B][/I]

UConn has three kids who want to board - Akok, Vital and Whalley
Cincinnati as well as 90% of all D1 teams have everyone who wants to board because if they don't, they don't play. It's very disheartening to see your center, JC, not fighting and jumping for rebounds and getting so easily blocked out. You have a forward in Polley who flat out avoids any physical play - yes he has rebounded more this year but he doesn't go after them and should be achieving a much higher percentage. It's truly amazing that the leading rebounders for the past 3 years have been Vital and J Adams.

As far as offense goes - UConn has no offense - they have no strategy, no plans - this is a coaching issue
