Normally after Arizona basketball games, I compile a list of a few things we learned from the day’s action. But there is really only one thing to take away from Wednesday’s win over Nebraska-Omaha: the Wildcats need to rebound better.
Despite winning by 50, Arizona owned a 47-33 rebounding margin. That doesn’t seem that bad until you dig a little deeper and see they were outrebounded 14-12 on the offensive glass, which resulted in 11 second-chance points for the Mavericks.
It’s not an anomaly.
The Wildcats rank 113th in the country in offensive rebounding percentage and 155th in defensive rebounding percentage.
