Every team in this conference, and likely all division 1 bball crash the offensive glass. Well, every team but us. We continually get demoralized in this aspect. Do these teams struggle getting back on D against us? Do these teams continually allow us to leak ahead and get easy buckets off of their missed shots? I wonder how many games it's cost us in the Shyatt/Edwards era versus how many games it's won us. Maybe we win 2 or 3 games in the last 5 years by benefiting from this strategy, but at what cost? I simply can't see the philosophy behind this strategy. I'm trying to think of a football comparison... It's almost like if a team fumbled, instead of diving on the ball (thus keeping the possession alive), they concede the ball to the other team, but make sure to get back to prevent a scoop and score.

Without the offensive rebounding we had tonight, seemingly out of nowhere, we would have lost this game. Hope it continues.

It was by accident and Edwards won't even be able to realize that it helped

Maybe Edwards has been reading this forum. Ha, ha, ha.
