Louisiana at McNeese State

[zephyr]

Went back an read the stats for Minnesota game, and we outrebouned them 44/39, we lost the rebound battle to Montana State 40/42.

Maybe we will not be a great rebound team, still we were not terrible in those two games, and the rest we absolutely responded well.

Yes, I know this. I didn't mention anything about Minnesota though. The two games I referenced were Montana State and Delaware State, neither are teams you would consider "large". However, I state this only as a concern and nothing more. We are a better rebounding team than I thought we'd be and I'm happy to see that. Hopefully we can continue to do so moving forward because this is the one area I'm really concerned about.

Rebounding is %95 effort and position. You don't have to be big, the smaller you are the better you need to be at position.

For those of us a little older, how much does Bryce Washington remind you of former UL star Marcus Stokes. Not on the offensive end, where I believe Bryce is better, but on the rebounding and defensive side. Neither are the tallest guys in the world, but both are/were rebounding machines.

You are correct. However, if the guys you are playing against give the same effort and know how to get position, that height and/or athleticism is a nice advantage to have..No?

Nice comparison. I always thought Bryce reminded me of Dennis Rodman with out the stupid attitude. He is smart around the goal and will position his body for the rebound. I think Justin Miller has very similar skills and will only get better.

BTW, did anybody notice Scott Farmer in attendance at the game? I thought that was interested and glad to see him there cheering the guys on.

Nothing against Bryce, but I always thought of Marcus Stokes as a much more physical presence. Marcus Stokes was a man.

Probably so, but they both do/did a great job of getting into position vs bigger players to make the rebound. Marcus was ridicuoulus at rebounding. I remember being in the stands watching him play and counting his boards. By halftime in most games he would be up to 6 or 7 and a large number of those would be offensive boards. I think his senior year he averaged over 12 boards a game. If I am not mistaken he might have been 2nd in the nation in rebounding one year, only 2nd to a guy less than an hour down the road named Shaq.
