Defense and Rebounding...

...win championships.  Well, even if you disagree with that, today's loss to Ohio State proves that you are not a championship caliber team without having mastered those two facets of the game.  The number of second chance points that Ohio State got was an absolute travesty.  No wonder Harangody averages double digit rebounds.  He is working 1 on 5 instead of 1 on 9.  This was a problem last year as well.  When your 5'10" point guard is your second best rebounder, you have problems.  I love that Brey has put these guys in a position to feel like they have the green light at all times on the offensive end but they really need to make a commitment on the defensive end unless they don't mind being knocked out of the tournament in the first or second round again.
