If we clean up our rebounding issues, just imagine
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Yeah, it was pathetic in the second half. Fran needs to get a coach to teach rebounding. Too much standing and no blocking out.
In the Davis days, we would lead the nation in rebounding margin; Fran's teams historically have had a lot to be desired when it comes to rebounding
Is this team fun to watch? yep!!!! But, getting stops, getting the rebound, discouraging the opponent as a result, and taking off to the other end of the court is a lot of fun too
Per HawkCentral:
Nebraska (10-13, 4-7) stayed in the game by grabbing 16 offensive rebounds and converting them into 22 points.

Going into the game, it was the one area Iowa had to be really concerned about. Nebraska is the second-best offensive rebounding team in the B1G, it grabs 34% of its misses on offense. Against Iowa, Nebraska got 40% of its misses. Iowa got 30% of its own misses, which is a pretty good number. Iowa won the game by turning it over a few less times than the Huskers and making more 3's. Iowa was 9-19 and Nebraska was 3-20 from 3-point land. Nebraska just isn't very good shooting the ball, so all the offensive rebounds it gets don't turn into as many points as one might think.
At this point in the season, teams kind of are what they are. Would certainly like to see Iowa rebound better, but our best defensive rebounder (Kriener) has been not very good the last couple of games (fouls at Rutgers and played just 5 minutes against Nebraska).
With his skills Cook should be a good offensive rebounder. You can see him starting to put in the effort. But the results aren't there yet.
