At a press conference last week Sean Miller claimed this year’s Arizona Wildcats team is the worst rebounding team he’s had in his 11 seasons at the UA.
It turns out that’s a slight exaggeration. For now, at least.
Here’s Arizona’s total rebounding percentage in each season of the Miller era. (Its national rank is in parentheses.)
- 2009-10 — 49.9% (184)
- 2010-11 — 53.1% (36)
- 2011-12 — 51.3% (104)
- 2012-13 — 54.7% (14)
By these numbers, the current UA team is actually Miller’s fourth-worst rebounding team.
