In her postgame press conference, Cori Close said her primary criticism of her team in that game was that they were not physical enough: they were out-rebounded and didn't get enough 50/50 balls. She expects that will be corrected in their next game against us.

Perhaps, but on the other hand, Brink is going to get better as a rebounder and she is already very good.  Her length is astounding--she reached high to get rebounds that other players of similar height would not have been able to.  As her positioning improves she could become a rebounding monster.  She is leading the team in rebounds per minute so far--47 rebounds in 109 minutes or 1 per 2.3 minutes.  Jones has 71 in 191 or one every 2.7 minutes.  Belibi is at 41 in 118 minutes or 1 per 2.9 minutes.  

Brink has been so outstanding on offense that perhaps her rebounding has been a bit under the radar. 

By the way, she is also leading the team with a whopping 15 blocks.  If we were to do blocks-per-minute it would be off the charts.  Haley Jones, with almost double the minutes, is next with 9.
