Offensive Rebounding

[QuadDogSW]

Dont look now, but the Boilers are currently out rebounding their opponents TRB 157 to 118 and ORB 58 to 33 on the season.

Granted these stats are against the early season opponents, but this looks like a trend which will continue. The barrage of three pointers is leading to a slew of long range boards. Lengthy players like Wheeler and Eastern are quicker to the ball and snatching it up.

I don’t remember when we’ve had a team which knew how to sniff out the ball this well. It gives our sharpshooters multiple looks at the 3 and will be a tremendous advantage this season.

Call me pleasantly surprised this season...fun to watch. Boiler up.

And that's with a guy like Big Tre on the bench...……….

They all hunt the ball like Biggie.

As much as I loved Haas, he made rebounding difficult because he just ate up so much space.

This is nice to see. Last year we kept making excuses that our ball would bounce off the glass and be too far away from the rim to grab the rebound. This year rather than watching the ball, our players are hustling and going after their shots to get the ball for a put back.

Lately I'm having fun talking about boxscore errors. At some point in the second half Haarms got an offensive rebound off a Carsen's three point miss and then passed the ball back to Carsen for another three (this time made) and an assist. No way he can have 0 offensive rebounds in the game like the boxscore says.

don't recall teh situation, but perhaps it was a hustle play to get the loose ball and not counted as a rebound? Not saying that was it because I don't know

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I remember Haarms grabbing the ball with two hands and kicking it back out to Carsen that drilled the three and immediately pointed to Haamrs to congratulate and thank him for the play. I guess we'll never know

Nice, so I can know if it actually happened or if I was just daydreaming. I can tell you it was in the second half for sure.

It happen as a rebound and pass out to Carsen. The announcers even pointed out how he thanked Haarms for the pass.

EB is our leading re bounder I believe and only averages 18 min.

Impressive. And it shows that rebounding is more about desire and knowing where to be than it is about height and athleticism. I'll have to watch him in the next game to see how he blocks out and how he watches for the shot.

I agree . . . in the past, we lost most of the long rebounds. It just was what we did.
