Oklahoma State average ATH/SPD/REB: 78/54/60
IPFW average ATH/SPD/REB: 66/62/38

Rebounds in the game: IPFW 47-37.

Can a +3 versus a -3 really make that big of a difference?

Don't have time to look real close right now, but one curiosity I did notice: Your starters outrebounded his starters 26-21. But his bench dominated your bench on the boards, 26-11.

Have not look at anything other than to say you CANNOT look at total team average ATH/SPD/REB and think that has very much correlation to how your team will perform on the boards.

That said, I find rebounding to still be one of the areas in the engine where there is a high degree of variability.

Well, you guys were even basically on the off. boards, the cause of their board domination of you may have been all your missed free throws. 

Ps.  Why the heck would you play uptempo?  There bench absolutley butchered yours.

i think +3 vs -3 makes a huge difference especially considering the fact that his good rebounding players got quality minutes. add -3 on top of that and yeah, i think it does make a difference. I think the averages are not representative of who's actually on the court.

And aside from all of the above, just because you have the better rebounding team doesn't mean you're going to outrebound them every time.

My team is way better than their team.  So I played uptempo.

Well your starters are way better, but their bench is obviously better (from the score).

Your team is better. Way better? I'd have to disagree. Atleast not let me go uptempo on them better.

and averages don't mean too much. especially at the BCS level where a lot of coaches have walk-ons screwing up their averages.

I think that the average is misleading a bit corn.

Consider 2 teams:

Team A has 5 players with all 50's in Reb.

Team B has:
PG = 1 reb
SG =10 reb
SF = 30 reb
PF = 70 reb
C = 90 reb
ave = 40 reb

I bet team B outrebounds team A most nights.

You're the one using averages to prove your point that you shouldn't have been outrebounded...'thanks for playing tho'....it's like saying why is my 700 rated d2 player ****** that has 99 in dura/stam/workethic....
