No shite, that was probably the dumbest thing I have ever read on this board; "Rebounding is over-rated".
Jesus Christ.

what did they say if you don't mind repeating? some of us schmucks are at work and can't stay by the tv for very long.

They made it up for TV, really its just showing up at a street ball court in Fayetteville and Mike rolling the ball out there.

A team who couldn't beat UMASS and struggled with Northwestern St?

Not just overrated. The most overrated stat in all of sports. See link.

Is it the same team that leads in losses to UMass?

It is.
Rebound Margin is actually a legitimate statistic on a game to game basis.
Why is that so hard for you guys to understand?
I even provided the formula for the Cal game, but could easily do the same for the SMU game where Arkansas was actually out rebounded but possessed a 20 point lead for the majority of the game...

There are always outliers. But something that raises mathematical probabilities in your favor is never an "over-rated" stat.

Holy crap that guy looks like he's 40.

LSU was up 15-20 the majority of the 2nd half against NWST. Did you watch the game?

So a poor shooting team that plays other poor shooting teams accumulates 50 rebounds a game is better than a good shooting team playing other good shooting teams but is only able to accumulate 34 rebounds a game?
The better rebounding team is the better team, right? Not in this example in most cases...

Mathematically they have a better chance when shooting poorly to win the game by out-rebounding. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

Different in this game 10/12 vs 5/9 not the rebound margin...

That is rebound margin and is a game to game basis.
I'm talking about the statistical category of Rebounds which is calculated the total rebounds every game.
Rebound margin matters, rebound statistical category does not.
