I won my game this afternoon, but it was another stupid box score. Got outrebounded by a team that inexplicably played a +2 defense, to my -4, and I had much better rebounding ratings IMO.

Makes no sense.

you only got outrebounded by 1 and that was largely a function of your poor FT shooting.  13 misses vs. 8 for them.

yeah, one rebound is not "stupid" or "senseless." When you shoot  a FT, they have 4 guys trying to get the rebound, you have 3. The advantage is in there favor. If you miss 13, you are going to be in trouble.

Went through the play by play, and they outrebounded my guys 6-2 on my missed free throws, so you both definitely have a point. So I outrebounded them by 3 on everything else, which to me is still a little too close considering the discrepencies in rebound ratings and their +2 vs my -4, but whatever. Of course, I was just frustrated and venting the other day, too.

I'm still a little annoyed at how poorly my guys are shooting FT's, though. Should C- guys be struggling to make 60 percent of their FTs? I've got two of them at under .600. 60 percent in college ball is atrocious. In my mind, C should be about average but maybe I just have it wrong.
