Dickie V probably hasn't seen us play yet. My guess is he was just looking for a phrase to fill out the paragraph.

I noticed that too...However, even though statistically we don't do well it never seems during a game that we are just getting killed on the boards

yeah, as i've said before, rebounding was always something i thought we just sucked at...seemed like we didn't have the right attitude or were tough enough to get the ball....and even though we may not have the stats to back it up, i do see a difference duirn the game....they're there, and they're battling....just a different attitude on offense and defense...and i like it.

Like Pearl has said many times, the lack of rebounding is made up by all the forced turnovers...

I just saw a lot of positives in that Texas game. The biggest was us winning of course. But they also controlled the tempo, shot the ball well, scored off a lot of turnovers, kept the lead even with foul trouble, and the bench played well. What am I leaving out?

I also like the fact that came out after halftime with a new play to free CJ up to score and executed it twice. CJ had 4 points and Barnes had one less timeout. I was worried about the 2nd half but Pearl had them ready.
