We're 18-7. Honestly, at the beginning of the season, I thought if we won 18 it would be a great season. Probably should have won the Marquette game at least. Maybe a few more. 34 in RPI. 22 in SOS. We've been out rebounded by an average of 5 per game and in some games (PC) destroyed on the boards. And we've done it with virtually no front court. Where could we be with a front court? Where could we be with Roscoe and Oriakhi? Especially if Oriakhi had his head screwed on straight and didn't disrupt the karma?

You'd think we'd be better, but you can't assume everything else would play out the same way as it has. Daniels, for one, could have had a totally different season if there was more front-court depth around.

I honestly think we are just one dominant rebounder away from glory.

Give me a guy who has a football physique and is hungry for at least 10 boards a night to pair with the guys we have and we're golden.

The national leader averages 11.8. It might be a little difficult to find a guy to get 10

Doesn't even need to be a dominant one, just a quality rebounder.

Tommy Myers, incoming UConn tight end, is third in the nation in rebounding with well over 20 a game....

He's only 6'6 though and is probably playing against centers who max out at around 6'2.
