Made shots = no offensive rebounds.

Same dude who had Nova as the 20th best team in the country headed into the year.
I mean even if you looked at offensive rebounding % we’re still 360th in the country as it currently stands. When we do miss we’re not hitting the boards well on our misses.
I don’t expect us to all of a sudden become a great offensive rebounding team, it wasn’t ever our philosophy under Bennett but we did have teams that were at least respectable in that regard.

Just to annotate a little, offensive rebounding percentage = offensive rebounds / (offensive rebounds + opponent defensive rebounds), so it’s not affected by shooting percentage the way rebound margin stats are. It’s just purely “what percentage of your misses did you grab?”

Somebody vote for Sharma. Nobody should have 0%!
Also, we win on a buzzer beater shot or lose by 14.
Vegas has Rohde/Imac getting sun-poisoning at -1300.

Struggled is accurate. Were a good defensive rebounding team, but utterly disastrous on the offensive boards. And given we’ve done that against 3 underwhelming teams I think it’s a potentially serious problem.

We have gone over 6 hours without someone gauging and measuring our high floor/low ceiling ratio in a post. #Unacceptable. We need to correct that ASAP. Let’s get our shit together and focus.

Not doubting this at all, but it goes against the common message board trope, “of course we gave up too many offensive rebounds. They took a lot of threes and long shots create long rebounds favoring the offense.”
All this talk of offensive rebounds reminds me of This Zach Lowe column from a while ago. Pop was out on offensive boards in 2016!

I’ve seen a mix of things when you look at this at the shot level.
This suggests that there is a relationship with between shot distance and offensive rebounding, though it’s kinda U-shaped:
This article with less granular shot data but more sample says no, threes are rebounded by the offense less often:
