  • CBS Sports College basketball rankings 1-353

    131. Northern Iowa: UNI needs to get its act together on both sides of the boards. The Panthers ranked 319th in offensive rebounding last season but were 12th in defensive rebounding -- the greatest disparity in the sport.

    Why exactly do we need to get our act together on "both" sides of the board if we were the 12th best defensive rebounding team in the country last year? We are typically ranked in the 300s for offensive rebounding % as we lean towards getting back to stop transition instead of sending people to the boards. I know putting together a ranking of 353 teams is difficult but the blurb is really lazy writing by Norlander.

      Pretty much everything Norlander writes is either lazy or a total fluff piece to prop up your Izzo's and Self's of the world.

      It's really hard to get offensive rebounds when you really don't try and only send one guy to the glass.

        How is 12th in the country on the defensive glass something they need to work on?

        Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

          Quality insights right there folks. Just remember he is getting paid for that level of expertise.
          If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

            I think the emphasis would be work on both ends, not just one end.

              I am guessing I can't input a scatter plot here but here is the table. The only real outlier is we were comparatively "good" (still #231) at offensive rebounds in 2010 .

              Last edited by UNIAlum2010; 10-23-2019, 08:53 AM. Reason: Edit: Added Defensive Rebounding Rank. I have a great appreciate for the job they have done over the years defensive rebounding. Those are extremely good ranks.
