So  you’re saying we out rebounded the #1 team WHO WAS MISSING ITS TOP REBOUNDER…?! :-)

Yep, even if you add in 150% of her average rebounds. 

She’d be well below 2nd best  at rebounding for Stanford this year even if she were averaging alll the time on the floor that she is getting at her latest school

Let’s just say she was a good judge of talent and knew she wouldn’t measure up until her senior year

No doubt through most of the year rebounding has been a big strength. Lately though, not so much. Last 5 games:

Cal: +6
OSU: +5
USC: -20!!!
Norfolk st: +10
ISU: -6

So we are talking an avg of -1 per game despite 1 game you would expect us to dominate. This is against +12.3 for the season as posted by Bostoncard. Maybe the sample is too small and USC hurts the numbers, but none of these games hit the season average +12 edge. Last year guard rebounding was a large problem and I fear that problem has been hidden much of the year by Cam and Kiki without being solved. NC St has excellent rebounders at guard- their top 4 guards (by minutes) average about 2.5x our top 4 guards. 8.4 vs 21.6 rebounds per game. I hope we revert to season averages, but I remain very concerned.
