Crash The Offensive Glass
Heading into Thursday night’s matchup with conference foe Georgia State (12-4), the Mountaineers hold very few statistical advantages. The one significant statistical advantage they do hold is in the offensive rebounding category. According to kenpom.com the Mountaineers rebound their own misses 32 percent of the time, compared to just 23.3 percent of the time for Georgia State. If the Mountaineers can keep this edge, they should be able to create enough extra possessions to swing things in their favor.
Michael Obacha will play a big role in the rebounding battle as he has pulled down 11.
