They are going to have to make their bigs make threes. If they do they probably win but that’s the risk you have to take imo.

Not that it'll be called. But for educational purposes could this be called a flop.

I think so. They really pressed it a few years ago, now it doesn't seem like they ever call it.

Broome and Cardwell need to step up and rebound. We are equally sized at the rim, so whoever wants it more is going to get it.

I don't doubt Cardwell's effort, but Broome can seem sluggish at times.

I hope our height advantage on the perimeter can help out with our rebounding too.

We've generally not been a very fundamentally sould boxing out/rebounding team under Bruce. Even with the bigs we've had, we will struggle at times to dominate the glass.

If we can control the glass though, I agree I think I'll like our chances.

I'm no basketball expert, but we're usually playing the block. I've heard it hurts rebounding.

Definitely. Bigger problem is many times a second defender or one on the backside tries to commit to the block as well, leaving the backside rebound wide open. We've been pretty successful at getting blocks so it usually doesn't hurt us too bad, but it also has gotten us in foul trouble more because of it. If we are on though, the blocks are a big momentum changer.
