When talking about last year’s Florida Gators basketball team if the term “rebounding” came up–you’d probably have positive thoughts. Florida’s offensive rebounding was explosive with them finishing 8th in the country in offensive rebounding rate, allowing them to constantly get second and third chances on possessions. This offensive rebounding onslaught was one of the biggest elements of Florida’s identity, propping up a half court offense that wasn’t awfully efficient with their first shot and allowing them to make an NCAA Tournament after a rocky start to the year.
Because of the offensive rebounding it’s safe to say that Florida would be considered a good, or even great “rebounding” team–but that wasn’t necessarily the case.
