Are you really trying to discredit him as a rebounder by spinning stats? The guy averages 7 boards per game. Same as last year.

Not at all......just pointing out more facts. Thornton, Lewis, and Carmichael are all getting more rebounds for their time spent on the floor.

Nicholson_____15_____2______3______5___
Odiakosa______31_____7______5______5___

Granted Nicholson fouled out in half the time (assuming DO is the one that drew those five fouls), but I don't see much difference in points and rebounds.

You really need to look at the guys they have rotating on the floor to see a real assessment. They have Dinma and Lewis starting...then rotate Carmichael, Thornton and at times Mishler. I'm sure it's hard to have double digit boards every night when you have that kind of rotation. Also, don't forget Osiris is a very good rebounder for a guard!

Just trying to be fair and balanced. Maybe I need to change my name to Bill O'Reilly.

Ok.....so Lewis is producing more rebounds than Dinma for their time on the floor together. Lewis will be a beast next year, assuming he improves daily.

Trying to find reasons to rip Odiakosa because of my sig (which has been there for about a year by the way so you're a bit late to the party) is pretty funny. On his worst days he's better at both ends than any post player BU has had since POB. Try that FACT on for size since you like FACTS so much. Ask the other MVC coaches (or even your own) if you think I'm just whistling dixie. I guess his FT% can be ridiculed but not much else about his game can be.

FWIW-I wasn't ripping BU for North's comment and I apologize if it came across that way. I was merely pointing out that he has underlying reasons to comment on Bradley that others may not be aware of.

Tornado......if you are seriously trying to pass off Mike North as a credible, knowledgable source for college hoops because he volunteers to coach at a weak high school program then you've fallen quite aways as a hoops fan. I'm pretty sure if he commented on how ISU is 6-0 and in store afor a good season you'd rip him to shreds for not knowing what the he** he is talking about.

DC - you and I agree on one thing, Dinma is doing a very good job and gives you all of what you want from that spot on the floor..
I agree there is little reason to criticize the guy......

I assume this was the same Mike North who said that he wasn't sure who he'd rather have between LeBron and Deron Williams...I'll pass on feeling good about his comment.

Please see "tool" comment above - thanks. Just thought it was fun hearing something about BU from what is predominantly Chicago biased (not a typo for based) reporting.

Not "ripping" anyone......again, just pointing out the facts.
