Boxing Out

[real2it]

The commentators made a lot of comments about the Ladies not being able to secure rebounds. From what I saw in this game at least they don't box out. A lot of jumping but no boxing out. Any thoughts?

Either they do or they don’t. Very inconsistent.

It has pretty much been that way all year but we have managed to duck it in game outcomes. Not much ducking room left. Need the bigs playing with Mikasa's rebound energy.

Rebounding should be a key focus against Oregon their center is Sedona Prince and she is 6’7”. She had a great game today so we will have our hands full with her.

Our centers, Cochran and Dixon, had 20 rebounds tonight.

Well they should have 40! NW only had 1 player 6'3 every other player was 6'1 and under. The 6'3 post Morris didn't even play according to the box score. We won the rebuilding 43-34 I'll take it but watching the game we should have had many more. Rebounding doesn't only fall on the centers either as a team boxing out should be a coaching moment.

NW has one of the more aggressive defensives in women’s BB. They create 22 turnovers per game. Very active with their hands and that frustrated us. And we haven’t been a consistently good rebounding team so that didn’t help. What killed us early were the 11 turnovers. Once we figured it out they started playing better. Zero turnovers in the 3Q.
