The Bearcats Dominated the Offensive Glass Last Season. Will They Again?

Of the three primary counting statistics used in basketball (points, rebounds, assists), rebounds are probably the second most important. Obviously points get the top of the marquee since the game is all about getting buckets. But getting non-buckets is important as well. The amount of emphasis that is put on crashing the boards is different for every team, especially on the offensive glass. Some squads play a no surrender style where every loose ball must be gobbled up to maintain possession. Other teams prefer to get back on defense, stopping opponents from moving the offense in transition and possibly getting an easy bucket.
