Brian Thornton Rebound Quotations

I think it's become a sense of desperation to some extent. We know that when we play games like Charlotte - we have another game coming up against a physical team in UC who does a good job on the boards - if we don't rebound the ball well, we're not going to win.

We wanted to go out and focus on rebounding. It's been our Achilles' heel so far this season. This was a trap game for us, where if we didn't go out and rebound the ball well, we could be in a world of trouble. They still rebounded the ball well, but collectively, we kept them off when it came crunch time.

I don't know if it was a pride thing; it was a sense of desperation. We knew we'd play games against Charlotte and we knew we have another game coming up against a physical team in UC. If you don't rebound the ball, you're not going to get a win.
