Even though we are only three games in, that is also 10% of the season behind us. With many positives and negatives thus far for the team, one thing that is glaring to me is that the rebounding must improve.Outside of the effort of rebounding and the benefits of allowing teams only one shot and getting out in transition, or offensively getting multiple attempts to score on a possession, the numbers show the Canes aren’t elite so far. Two of those games were against inferior competition, where we should have dominated on both ends.The Hurricanes currently sit as the 104th-best defensive rebounding team with a 74.8% team defensive rebounding percentage. Last season, the Hurricanes were the 17th-best defensive rebounding team nationally and second in the ACC to Duke with a 76.3% team defensive rebounding percentage.On the offensive end, the Canes are worse so far, ranking as the 138th-best offensive rebounding team with a 32.1% team offensive rebounding percentage. In comparison, last season the Hurricanes were 25th nationally at 34.4% as a team.It’s early, and you can say those percentages are close, even though the rankings are farther apart. That’s true, but as the season goes on, the competition ramps up, and rebounding will become more of a priority.The positive is that in the last game vs. North Florida, the rebounding was much improved compared to the first two games. The Hurricanes helped their overall rebounding numbers by recording an 83.3% team defensive rebounding percentage and a 45.5% offensive rebounding rate.Tomorrow night, when we play the Lions of North Alabama, I am looking at rebounding first. We should be able to dominate the glass against this opponent. I would like to see us get 50% of our misses back on the offensive glass and allow only one offensive rebound for every ten opponent misses on the defensive glass.<blockquote>I know we are early in the season, and the Canes currently sit at 2-1 with North Alabama on the horizon tomorrow night.
