Following Kentucky’s 20-point win over Mount St. Mary’s, John Calipari had one thing on his mind: offensive rebounding, and rightfully so. The Cats may have out-rebounded the Mountaineers 35-31, but UK’s opponent grabbed four extra balls off the glass. Mount St. Mary’s had 10 offensive boards compared to Kentucky’s six.
It’s not something that’s totally new; the same thing happened in the loss to Evansville. The Purple Aces brought in 11 second-chance rebounds to the Cats’ eight. On the season, UK has recorded 37 total offensive rebounds, good for 7.4 rebounds per game. According to the national statistic website Team Rankings, Kentucky is currently ranked No.
