Michigan poised to flex muscles on boards in Rutgers rematch

Ann Arbor — There’s usually a lot a team can learn from its first meeting against an opponent.

When it comes to Wednesday’s rematch against Rutgers, there’s one main takeaway that stands out to Michigan coach Juwan Howard.

“Rebound, rebound, rebound,” Howard said Tuesday.

That’s because in the teams’ clash earlier this month at Madison Square Garden, the Scarlet Knights came away with 26 offensive rebounds and turned those into 19 second-chance points in the Wolverines’ 69-63 victory.
