Rebounding

Is this the worst Kentucky rebounding team ever ?

 

[will1976]

It has been difficult to watch.

 

[dynastydreamuk]

I don't get it. And it's been a problem... they seem to not box out at all and hands/arms down alot

 

[katwest]

It has to be one of them, the thing about it is, is that it’s not getting any better,

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Clearly hasn't been a focus in practice.

Really unclear how you can keep getting smoked on the glass and ppl continue to refuse to put a body on someone

That's what bothers me too. They know it's been a problem from day 1 and yet we see zero improvement. Not acceptable.

We’d be up by 10

Yes

This is embarrassing on the glass, gotta be better this half to win tonight & going forward.

Worst I can remember. Maybe ‘21 was worse?

Bad rebounding is mostly attributable to not being able to keep the opponent from beating us off the dribble. Leads to defensive rotations and size mismatches inside. Only Otega and Collin can stay between their man and the basket. The other 2 that can are on the bench injured. Only way to win is by hitting a good % of our 3’s. The defense can not be counted upon so the offense has to be on every game.


Getting Lamont and Jax back is a must if we are to have any run in the SEC and NCAA tourneys.

You make good points.

But we were terrible at rebounding when they played.

Defensive rebound % rank:

2015 UK - 208th
2025 UK - 55th

The 2015 team was much better on the offensive glass. This year's team is "bad" on the glass because they are quite average at getting offensive rebounds.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

We rebound well in practice…..

…….because nobody boxes us out 🤣

Chandler helped the rebounding tonight.

Chandler helped the rebounding tonight.

Chandler with 6 rebounds tonight- played really well- a PG he is not but played that role, when called upon tonight well
