Would like to start seeing us lead the nation in blocks and rebounds again. That usually helps you win.

Props to Boat, he has come a long way. Leading the league in a/to ratio is quite impressive. Shocked about the rebounding stats, great to see a clear improvement, this shows great coaching in that regard. Thanks for the information.

People have been down on Boatright, but I just don't see it. I think he has stopped being so reckless, and is clearly a superior player. His one limitation is height (which makes it hard for him to convert in the paint and some passes), but I've been very happy with his play and his attitude this year.

Uconn is 1st (!) in rebounding (38.4) and rebounding margin (+4.5)

The rest is great, but when you consider where we came from, that one stat right there is mind boggling.

It is so refreshing to have an outstanding shooting team, both from deep and at the foul line.

Boat calming himself down a bit, especially given his NBA hopes, has been huge.
The rebounding turn-around has been huge.
I guess KO can coach (even big men)!

 

[Scot-e]

Props to KO if we are really first in the AAC in rebounding margin.

The strength of the team is shooting and depth.
Samuel and Facey will get more minutes as we play some weak teams in conference.
The more ambitious OCS didn't help the kids PT but this isn't the Big East. So it's tourney tuneup time now. Samuel is really important as our guards have to sit some down the stretch.
