Battle Of Boards Crucial For Utah State Vs. Kansas State

Mar 17, 2011 10:37 AM

Keeping Kansas State off the glass is a high priority for Utah State.

"They really hit the glass," Utah State guard Brockeith Pane said of the Wildcats. "They're top five in the country in offensive rebounding. They go to the glass every time with three or four guys. You can't scout that; that is something you have to see for yourself, and we'll go out there and do a good job at it."

USU head coach Stew Morrill made offensive rebounding an extra incentive for the scout team in preparation for the Aggies' first round matchup with K-State.

"You know what we did with our scout squad is we told them that if they got an offensive rebound we'd buy them a milkshake," Morrill joked. "We don't have the athletes on our scout squad like K-State has, but we just tried for several days to emphasize how hard they were going to go to the boards. Normally you have three guys go to the offensive boards in preparation — we had five."
