VCU Offensive Rebounding Makes Them a Winner-Why Can't UR Just Try the Same?

[Spider Bob79]

I watched the last 10 minutes of the VCU v. Dayton game last night. VCU dominated their own offensive boards. They would take a 3, miss, rebound, shoot, miss, rebound, and keep going. VCU had 23 offensive rebounds last night! Meanwhile, year after year and counting, the Spiders shoot and run to the other side of the court- one shot and done. Why not at least try it out? Crash the board when we shoot and see what happens. Several of the close losses could have been wins with a few offensive boards and second and third chance shots. I just don't get it.

4 players attack the offensive glass 90% of the time. So they said on the telecast last night.

I watched the final 5 mins last night of the VCU win at Dayton. Everything Bob posted above is spot on. Sickens me that VCU is just dominant on the boards, yet Mooney plays the passive game. I wish someone would bring this up in interviews in terms of VCU approach & success vs his softness & failure. So tired of the same old same old.

No one will ever bring it up to Mooney. No one dares ask him any remotely difficult questions.

And they don't even have a strong 5, just a bunch of wiry guys who have desire and can jump.
