Yes and lack of intensity / passion / tenacity. Another theme of Pitino teams.That’s coaching. Poor coaching.
Over the entire game, Robbins and Curry combined for 2 rebounds total. Our two centers for the majority of the game (all of it maybe?) had two rebounds combined. Maybe it’s OK though because Robbins got 1 block in the game...
Agreed. And the rebounding stats are a symptom of the larger problem of bad interior defense.Soft. So soft. Robbins just gets pushed around....and doesn't really go up strong for boards.

No, this was an Illinois shot and another second of video would show Illinois scoring with that rebound. I tried to include a longer gif, but the system doesn’t allow pics larger than 1 MB unfortunately.Minnesota is the team that took this shot, right? Isn't it fairly common for the defense to be in better position for rebounds? Because the defensive post players are going to be standing in between the offense and the basket? I won't say there isn't some big strategic issue with rebounding, but this gif is very short with little context.

And i was laughing at the announcers for not ripping our defense.I hope that the coaching staff and players watch this game WITH AUDIO. The announcers were laughing at the Gopher offense and rightfully so.
