Looking back at the box score I noticed that Clingan had 7 offensive rebounds in 10 minutes. This was good for his most all season by a wide margin in some of his fewest minutes played. I have to imagine that nobody in UConn history has grabbed this many ORebs in less than 10 minutes played, but I don't know how to do the search on it.
Question for those savvy with stats
- Thread starter UCFan1513
- Start date
I figured it out on Sports Reference - since 2010-11 UConn has had 21 players pull down at least 7 ORebs. Before Clingan it was Sanogo who had pulled down 7 ORebs in the fewest minutes at 23 minutes, in our last game against Butler actually. Clingan did the same in 10 minutes.
The OReb record since 2010-11 for UConn is 11, set by Andre Drummond in 2011 over 27 minutes against Maine. Have to imagine Clingan will break that in his time here. Pretty crazy that Clingan played a "bad" game by his standards, but was still such a huge part of our rebounding advantage

As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the record book related specifically to Offensive Rebounds. However, you noted 'UConn history.' Consider this: Art Quimby AVERAGED 21.5 rebounds per game for a CAREER. He averaged 24.4 in 54-55 alone. In fact, he pulled down 40 in one game in '55 and the entire team had 81 total rebounds. Toby Kimball averaged 17.9 per game for a career and 21 per game in 1965. Toby had 34 against New Hampshire in 1965. I know that doesn't answer your question re: 7 OR in 10 minutes, but you have to allow for one of these guys to have had maybe 15-20 OR in a game. Whether that might be a 10 minute stint, I don't know.

He has fantastic hands for a big who is relatively raw on the offensive end. It's unbelievable. Gives me a lot of positive hope for his ability to develop touch at the rim for next season.

Yes, really nice hands and snatches the ball most of the time rather than tipping it. Unfortunately, I think 2-3 of those 7 were his own misses. Hence the big number in a short time.

eric cobb had one of the most bizarre uconn careers in recent memory. dude was sent here like the terminator to destroy syracuse in one game at madison square garden and he did very little else (besides provide this stat, i guess)

Alex Oriakhi made a living out of rebounding his own missed bunnies. Did not have Donovan's hands however.

But probably made more of the putbacks. DC seems to have regressed at that of late.

We might put up gaudy offensive rebound stats next year with Clingan and Castle. Castle has an offensive MO of playing like Moses Malone did - throw up a layup while being contested with the idea that you get the rebound and a much easier resulting layup. So, you get the two points, an OReb (sometimes 2), and go 1-2 (or sometimes 1-3) on FG's.
