With all that said I think the main things for this team are rebounding and finding ways to score on offense...
I agree. I particularly do not understand why Wallace doesn't get more minutes with the rebounding problems OSU has been having. Wallace provides a very physical presence out there, and he is always hustling when he gets in the game. Also, he has shown better touch on his shots than I thought he would have. I think he should be getting 12-15 minutes per game instead of around 5. Last night, he only got 1.

Someone could also mention to the color commentator that the word is "their" not "they"...perhaps explain the proper usage of "doesn't" and "don't", too. As in "They defense needs to do better, he don't do a good enough job positioning." Blech.

And in that minute, he went up and grabbed a defensive rebound from right in between a couple of CSU players. Could definitely use a player to go up and get those balls, ala Sullinger from a few years back.
Rebounding didn't seem to improve mouch. Still way too many defensive rebounds being missed. I can't believe the number of rebounds that hit the floor.

Wallace has been a favorite of mine in this class......I think as the season goes on his minutes will have to increase. As far as last night, I felt like they showed flow on offense and play hard for most of the game except for a 7-8 minute stretch in the second half.....it was a step in the right direction.

I am still worried about turnovers and rebounding myself going into big ten play.
This style of play will only work against patsies like Northwestern and Iowa...
Oh well, I honestly thought that the point we are playing at now, would be how we would have been playing at the onset of the season..
It's a good thing I've ratcheted down the expectations...
