[NU Sports] rebounding disaster

[Brad Wilson]

I noticed before the Purdont game that NU was ranked 324th in the nation in rebounding.

I realize the Princeton offense means rebounding can be a weakness -- though Pete Carril loved to tell of a game in the early 1970's when the Tigers (all hail their glorious win over Hahhavd Saturday!!) beat a Pete Newell-coached Cal squad despite being out-rebounded 51-19 -- but 324th is pathetic in ANY system.

The free throws continue to be a disaster and that is inexcusable -- but I think with just a bit more muscle on the boards NU would be NCAA-bound.
