Junior Center Bola Olaniyan reaches for the ball during the 77-75 victory against Air Force on Nov. 13, 2015. Olaniyan grabbed 12 rebounds and scored eight points in the game.
As expected, the team ranks in the bottom half of the Missouri Valley Conference in that department, but has managed to out-rebound itsopponent in 13 of 21 games. The credit for the Salukis' (18-3, 7-1 MVC) plus-24 rebound margin this season is due to two juniors.
Center Bola Olaniyan and forward Sean O'Brien have improved rebounding numbers from last year and are in the top eight of the MVC this season.
