I read it that way too at first. I think they meant that the UC will be the first real test against a good rebounding team. All of the other victories, thus far, have been against average, at best, rebounding teams.

That's what I understood as well.

Yeah thats how I read it as well. They pretty much specifically say that. They also say at the beginning there is no one who has better wins in quality and quantity.

Just found out my Christmas present is a pair of tix for my pops n I. I've never been to Cintas n can't put into words how fired up I am. I also hope to have the opportunity/pleasure to meet some of the posters on here because even the ones who don't always agree seem really cool. Sorry for interrupting this thread.

Enjoy your first big X game. You didn't say which game but be very careful, Xavier BB is additive and you will need to schedule Tuesday's and Saturdays during home weeks accordingly.

That's the best part. I'm choosing(within reason) which game.

Shootout! Although depending on who you ask the price may not be within reason.

Is that a reasonable assessment that UC will easily be the best rebounding team we have played thus far? I was not able to watch the Orlando games so Michigan would be the next best? Meh? Just not convinced UC is THAT much better. I guess we will find out soon enough.

UC is a very good offensive rebounding team, but not great defensively.

39.5 Cincinnati (18)
34.3 USC (80)
30.9 Dayton (154)
29.4 Western Kentucky (201)

Opponent Offensive Rebounding Percentage (Rank)
20.7 Wright State (5)
26.2 Dayton (64)
27.4 Cincinnati (90)
29.0 Michigan (124)
