One of the reasons Kruger likes big guards: Rebounding

[AdaSooner]

Through the first 13 games, Cousins is second in rebounds with a 6.3 average. Buddy is in a tie for third with Thomas at 5.4 rpg. Even Jordan has an amazing 4.1 average for a 5' 10" point guard. As a group, our guards are rebounding at just under 19 boards per game. That's why this team has been able to outrebound most opponents and hang tough with the two or three who managed to get more rebounds than OU has a team.
