“Teams are shooting 52 percent against us in the SEC,” Grant said. “We are getting outrebounded by five a game. Those are the numbers that concern me. Offensively, we’ve got enough players who can score. I am more concerned about the defense.”
??? CAG must be talking about some other # other than SEC rebounding since while we were only a little less than even against Missouri, we were out rebounded 38-22 against Tennessee (ESPN Boxscore). So it comes to 8 or 9 rebounds a game in SEC play. We were out rebounded offensively 6-5 by Missouri and 14-6 by Tennessee. But CAG and the Tide reduced the # of turnovers and personal fouls from 16 and 21 respectively against Missouri to 7 and 14 against Tennessee.

 :( Losing Releford will hurt but we have enough guards to cover his ball handling and points. My concern is the same as CAG. We need to rebound better and play defense.

Lordy, this is killer. I don't how the other guys can step up but I don't think just because CAG gave them a scholly will make them play any better. We shall see. RTR!
