Rebounding

[SoonerNorm]

OU ranks 3rd in the conference in defensive rebounding but dead last in offensive rebounding.

I really don't understand that because those are missed scoring opportunities.

No one other than Sharane crashes the board with a deadly, my-ball or the I'm going to club you to death if you attempt to rebound in my vicinity attitude.

Jo did last year like a demon. The twins, Abi, Leah used to do it -- and Carlee too.

Got to follow those shots and most important, Got to want to.

Griffin has done better since around the time (I suspect) she recorded that video about her dad.

Well personally, I would gladly sacrifice a defensive rebound or two instead of defenders abandoning their posts (players) and leaving wide-open uncontested 3-pt shots, especially when often those opposing players are just burning up the nets. I'd much rather have a designated shut-down defender that stuck like glue to their opposing player regardless what the other four opponents were doing. I not saying this for every game, but when an opposing player is hot, just don't continue to leave them open (unopposed).

A team that shoots well tends to have fewer chances to rebound on offense.

In addition, a team that turns over the ball before getting a chance to shoot also has fewer chances to rebound on offense
