We just lose the rebounding battle by 5 fewer rebounds and we probably win by 10-15pts. Changes entire complexion of the game.
Tough way to lose, but we needed this lesson. Our bigs gotta flat out box out better and rebound. I know guards gotta rebound too, but we cannot keep expecting Khari Price or Devin Oliver to outjump a 6-10 center for a ricochet off the rim.

Yep. Bigs have got to move their feet, maintain contact with their man, and put their butt into their guy. If you don't get the board outright you often pick up a foul. It's a shame to because Price really worked his butt off on that D. Everything was correct. Except the big took a nap. Read somewhere it was Scott's man. Not sure. Either way down the stretch UD gave up way too much in that exact manner. Just asleep down low.
