Message: [QUOTE="Billy Jack, post: 4493792, member: 4173"] You can’t look at rebounding in isolation. Why did Creighton outrebound us? Well, 11 of their 14 rebound advantage was on the offensive glass. Why? Because our D held them to 2 of 14 on 3’s. Those misses kick out and aren’t being grabbed by your primary rebounders. That game really says very little about our normal rebounding effectiveness. Meanwhile, we made up for the rebounding disadvantage by forcing 8 more turnovers than they did. In the 2 previous games, we took 14 more shots than Providence and 15 more than Xavier, meaning that they had way more rebounding opportunities. That was a function of the fact that both teams got to the foul line a lot more than we did. Instead of taking and missing field goals, they were taking free throws. [/QUOTE]
