Cameron Mills Practice Report - 11/7/24

Definitely need to rebound better.
Yeah, but…
just looking at our offensive rebounds are 7 less than our opponents is too simplistic. We have made 50-60% of our shots, they have only made 30-40% of their shots. That means they have had many more chances for offensive rebounds. So it is better to look at what % of offensive rebound opportunities have you gotten one, vs the same for your opponent.

That said, given the quality of our opponents so far, we should have crushed them on the boards.
 
Biggest takeaway for me is we actually have a staff that pays attention to problem areas and doesn’t wait until Christmas break or later to address them.

In one of the interviews (pre-Bucknell conference maybe), Pope talked about both raw rebound numbers and rebounding % numbers, and he eluded to targets for each of those.
 
Mills is definitely improving. Also looks like he’s dropped some pounds so kudos to him on that front as well.

Also is it just me or does the new Memorial facility look amazing. Loved the old one but looks like they did an excellent job renovating it.

I've been in the new Memorial several times now and it's beautiful. But, concessions cost way more now. Same in Rupp, paid $9 for a Coke last game. Think I'll stick with water from now on as that's ridiculous for a lousy Coke. But, Memorial is gorgeous!
