Do these guys even practice boxing out? Can't win games when you give up 164 offensive rebounds in every game.

Yeah and he almost outrebounded our entire team by himself. 43-26 in rebounds with Williams having 18. 17 of their boards were offensive. It happens every game and we do nothing to fix it.
How much of that is ball bouncing to the right guy vs going and getting the ball?
Our commitment to rebounding can be summed up by watching Nader not box out and just watch the ball go over his head on that free throw with the game on the line.
I'm afraid we are going to have to see the roster turnover before our rebounding improves much. Old dogs and new tricks.
McKay leaving his feet put him out of position for the rebound. Though I noticed Williams often appeared to be already in rebounding position before a shot was ever put up. I guarantee there were some missed 3 second violations.
Part of the problem is that we defend so poorly that we are constantly helping. Thus it becomes more and difficult to get in good rebounding position.
It's not just giving up offensive boards, we get very few offensive boards of our own. We probably lead the nation in 1 and done possessions. Guys don't even try to crash the boards 95% of the time.
McKay has the weakest hands of a big I can remember in my years watching Clone ball. Can we get him some hand exercisers or stickum? Where is Jack Tatum when you need him?
When WVU rebounded that missed free throw at the end of the game when we had 4 guys in the lane and they only had 1, I just laughed.. It was comical at that point.
I wish I could have laughed. I threw a pillow across the room and my wife got ticked at me and went to bed.
