offensive rebounding

My earlier post stated we were #8 RPG. The stats were updated. We are #3 as you state (the link defaults to RPG). Total Off Rebounds we are still #1.
 
Let's see how well we do against real competition.

Exactly.

It's a huge game, win tomorrow, get steere back, beat Albany, we'll have momentum heading into the Arizona game.
If we lose tomorrow then it's the same sju team as every other year.

Lets get this damn game tomorrow and show that it's gonna be different under cma.
 
Only had 2 less total rebounds but 2 more offensive rebounds against WVU. If we keep the rebounding like this each game. Every game in conference play is winnable. Control the glass control the game.
 
The offensive rebounding performances thus far is a shock to me. I never expected our team to mix it up so well underneath, considering the lack of height. Hope we continue, and improve throughout the season. Steere can only help.

Without just busting your chops, why is it a shock? An old theme for me but why did you and so many others decide what we were or weren’t (and in some cases continuing to) without seeing the players play first, the coaches coach? Many of the greatest rebounders in basketball history did not do it because of height, Bill Russell and Dennis Rodman being among them. But Wes Unseld and Paul Silas did not only give up height but neither could jump a lick. Positioning, timing and especially desire go a LONG way toward rebounding the basketball. Currently, Earlington gives up height and is not a great jumper but his rebounds to minutes played ratio is pretty impressive.

Like I said, lack of size, but also our history. I can't remember when SJU was considered a team that rebounded well. Can you please enlighten me to a past team?

If you can enlighten me as to what possible relevance past SJU teams have to a team with essentially all but 2 new players and a completely new coaching staff with a completely different approach to the game than ever implemented here before.

It has to do with expectations from prior years. Mel Davis' teams from the early 70s? Close to 50 years ago. Please tell me what SJU teams were nationally ranked for rebounding?

Not sure how to respond; brand new team essentially, brand new coaching staff but all that is relevant to you is the past. We just disagree.

Getting Ian for Arizona will only and matters, another big body, who is some say, our best big man.
I'll take a solid 7 & 7 for his first game.
 
I think that's reasonable. I can't wait to see him finally in action really excited for his future here. Feels good to finally have big man depth after so many years lol.
