[NU Sports] B-Ball status

[Beamsley, Jeff]

I thought we rebounded pretty well last night so I looked at the box
score.

We matched Illinois on defense rebounds 25-25.  They got more offensive
rebounds than us (10-6), but as you said there were quite a few of those
that were long rebounds from three point shots.  Our offensive scheme
doesn't lend itself to crashing the boards. So I agree that the
defensive number is much better indication of where we are, and we
played them even up in that stat.

<Personally, I've been more excited about (and had more fun watching)
this basketball season than any in about 15 years

This may be the best team we've had in the last fifteen years, and that
is a sad commentary on NU basketball.  Until we get a good inside
presence that can prevent other teams from getting two and three shots
and get some put-backs ourselves, we will never be a winning basketball
program.  In the first eleven Big Ten games we have only 69 offensive
boards to 136 for our opponents, and I dare say most of ours were long
rebounds.  Defensively it's
206 - 280.  If we got half the rebounds and changed nothing else, we
would be in the race for the Big 10 championship.
