AT's "hype"

............

So we were outrebounded 12 of our 31 regular season games

See, it is crap like this that just shouldn't be allowed!

So Bradley out-rebounded their opponents in 19 of 31 regular season games? And that's more than 1/2?

No way!!! I don't care what the facts say... I still think Bradley has a rebounding problem and so long as we don't pay attention to this detail/stat/fundamental we'll never amount to anything.... even if we do win 21+ games in a season (only because we played more than 35 games which made it easier to get to 21+).

C'mon!!! What are these guys practicing? Why do hear they look good in practice? It doesn't translate to success on the floor.

Since I just picked Hansbrough at random.. I thought I'd check up on the top rebounder in the country last year. M. Beasley averaged 12.4 boards/game in 31.5 minutes of play. That extrapolates out to 15.7 rebounds in 40 minutes. 7 rebounds in 20 minutes.. so again you think one or our guys in pretty much going to come close to matching Beasley.

I say again.. I hope one of the players does what you want.. but I think your expectations are Pie In The Sky!

My God!

matt salley and zach andrews averaged about 7 rebounds per game last year and the year before. i can confidently say that neither of them was a great rebounder. they played 24 and 22 minutes/game respectively.

I think AA proves my point....maybe it because Michael Beasley plays tougher teams so it knocks him down a bit..I don't know. If he were in the valley I'm sure he'd be getting bigger "extrapolations". I see your point, but I'm just saying it...I won't be happy, and Bradley won't be squat this year if we have our 3 biggest guys averaging 3 rebounds/game. One guy at 7 for 20-30 minutes. Load the figures up but look back at the Bradley centers and their avg/game on rebounds...
