Applying proper rebounding fundamentals better not be going without saying especially when the Lady Shocks aren't consistently using those fundamentals. You simply can not attack the ball when you consistently allow your opponent to be between you and the basket. Well you can, but that usually ends up with a foul or knocking the ball out of bounds but rarely with a rebound. So first things first. This has only been a big problem over the last 6 games. Prior to that we were more or less holding our own on the boards. I wonder if the Shocks may be wearing down a bit. Our 6'2" post who maybe goes, IDK, 130 - 140 lbs has to expend a lot of energy battling night after night against bigger, stronger opponents. Our 6'0" power forward has more of a point forward mentality. Perhaps we have a quickness advantage on most MVC opponents but we don't seem to be putting it to good use. In any case, we are clearly getting out-worked on the boards. Hopefully, the Ladies can get it figured out for the stretch run.
