Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe speaker evaluates the team's performance, specifically focusing on the need for improvement in rebounding. While acknowledging that the team's overall physicality and individual defensive efforts—particularly from Brandon—were strong, the speaker emphasizes that failing to control the glass and allowing too many offensive rebounds is a critical weakness that must be addressed.
That's the one area where I thought we still needed to be better.
I mean, look at, they're starting forming at eight rebounds,
three offensively.
We can do a great job keeping them off.
Fielder had six rebounds, Brandon had four,
probably needs to be a little bit better.
Tarras got in there and helped them out at seven,
but we can get beat by three and
less.
Now, eight of their 45 rebounds were team rebounds.
That's some of the fouls they call against us.
Tough calls and they end up with 8-0 boards on some of those,
but we got to do a better job.
So we gave up a free throw at the offense, or gave up
an old board at the free throw line, which you can't do that.
So our physicality was better,
but I still don't think we were good enough on the glass.
I do think Brandon's physicality and defense in general was great,
but as a whole, we got to do a better job on the glass.
