“Brackets on the Line: Can Underdogs Auburn and Houston Shock the World in a Battle for NCAA Glory?”
Auburn won the offensive rebounding battle in the first game 15-11, but both teams had plenty of opportunities. If one side focuses on rebounding as a team defensively, it will be a huge advantage. There will always be some rebounds that get away from the defense with how relentless each team attacks the offensive glass, but cleaning up simple missed box outs can go a long way.
Sometimes, players can get so focused on the macro concepts on defense that they forget to do simple things. But the game is often decided on simple things. Defensive rebounding is going to be a huge factor in this game.
