Rebounding

[bjm989]

There are so many areas of improvement with our team over the past several years, starting with the overall defense.

But as part of that, we are such a better rebounding team than we were several years ago. What a difference. Pardon, Law, and Skelly especially making an impact.

True and NU now has a coach who expects and coaches strong rebounding and MxM D!

I've been watching NU basketball since the late 70s.

This is almost certainly the best rebounding team I've seen and without a doubt the best offensive rebounding team I've seen. These guys clean the glass!

Some of that can be attributed to the positioning of players in the Princeton O (when the Lakers tried to run a version of it, they weren't a very good rebounding team either), but helps to have better athleticism and more length.

It also helps to have a coach who doesn't tell his players to go back on defense when they take a shot.

^ Um, that's part of the Princeton scheme.

(Funny how that you have taken repeated shots at BC in various threads - talk about being obsessed.)

Which is just one reason the Princeton scheme sucked balls
