To everyone wanting another big. Miami already has several offensive rebounds against a bigger UCONN team. Give me all the big guards and wings we can get
What’s more important than size is having players who crave rebounds. Melvin Ejim and Dustin Hogue were both 6’6” and averaged over 8 rpg. Lipsey was our leading rebounder this season with just 4.0 rpg.To everyone wanting another big. Miami already has several offensive rebounds against a bigger UCONN team.

Miami made their run when UConn tried to play small ball and didn't have their bigs on the floor. UConns bigs have dominated the game so far.To everyone wanting another big. Miami already has several offensive rebounds against a bigger UCONN team. Give me all the big guards and wings we can get
UCONN has 2 elite level bigs and Miami is still able to offensive rebound against them. We aren't getting UCONN level bigs out of the portal. So my point is you can still be effective without being 7 feet tallMiami made their run when UConn tried to play small ball and didn't have their bigs on the floor.

Maybe, but I'll take UCONN's 2 bigs.To everyone wanting another big. Miami already has several offensive rebounds against a bigger UCONN team. Give me all the big guards and wings we can get
I think Sallis is athletic enough to get his shot in the paint without taking a tough shot. Even if a team drops off. As much as I like Holmes and Kalscheur, they had a tough time getting an easy shot in traffic.
In the Pitt game we were bad from 3 shooting 2-21. But we also shot 12-39 from 2. The Pitt game wasn't unique, in the games ISU struggled on offense, our guards struggled making 2's.
Your argument is probably it's tough to make 2's when a team packs the paint. I'd argue a tall guard with a solid handle can get his shots, even in traffic.
Lastly, I expect Lipsey to be a better offensive player next year. Ideally, Lipsey will hit mid-30's plus from 3. But he can pull defenders to him if he can hit a 12-15 foot jumper or develop a go to shot (Monte Morris like floater) in the paint.
But don't kid yourself someone with size, quickness and a want to rebound will beat a point guard on the boards most nights. Still take a Hogue or Ejim clone anytime.UCONN has 2 elite level bigs and Miami is still able to offensive rebound against them. We aren't getting UCONN level bigs out of the portal.

I'll take down 13 in the final 4! Sounds awesome!And they're down 13 at the half
The are getting dominated by UConn bigs, it's really really hard to score when your shots never make it to the rimUCONN has 2 elite level bigs and Miami is still able to offensive rebound against them.

I don't disagree with your point, but the skilled 7'er doesnt just affect the game by rebounding. UCONN's bigs have had impact on both ends. I'm hoping JT Rock becomes this type of player.UCONN has 2 elite level bigs and Miami is still able to offensive rebound against them. We aren't getting UCONN level bigs out of the portal.

That's not a good lineup.Lipsey
Williams
Sallis
Omaha
King
Thatd be some ridiculous athletes on the floor together. Get defensive stops and RUN!
We averaged 3.5 more rpg than our opponents in Big12 games. Not elite, but solid.Nvm, King and Kunc both had 4.1 rpg. Never trust ESPN for stats.
Either way, this years team was not a good rebounding team.
Probably one of our best rebounding team in at least 15 years. Just more of a group effortNvm, King and Kunc both had 4.1 rpg. Never trust ESPN for stats.

The reason I want another big is to play Biliew at the 3 getting Momcilovic more time at the 4. Milan is likely our best offensive threat currently on the roster.To everyone wanting another big.

Wrong! That is Tre King by a mile.The reason I want another big is to play Biliew at the 3 getting Momcilovic more time at the 4. Milan is likely our best offensive threat currently on the roster.
It may be a worse shooting lineup than a few we put out there this year.That's not a good lineup.
It seems like you’re insinuating FAU built their team off stud transfers. FAU’s roster is mostly guys who have been there since straight out of HS, plus a couple transfers who barely played elsewhere.
