In four games, we have had 4 players grab 10 or more rebounds on 7 occasions. And another 3 occasions, someone has grabbed 9 rebounds. I don't think we have ever crashed the boards like this.

Rucker has had games of 20 and 12 rebounds
Alihodzic has had games of 12 and 10
Mehinti had a 10 rebound game
CJ has had 10 twice and 9 once.
Rob Williams has had two games of 9 rebounds.

Amazing.

There is no doubt in my mind, this years team is the best rebounding team UAB has ever had and believe you, me, I have seen ever last one of them.

Trivia question for you, Memphis Blazer. How many rebounds did Nebraskas Carl McPipe have against UAB on November 24th, 1978?

22

22? Are you serious. I don't even know the answer. Did McPipe have 22 rebounds? OMG!

Generally when you ask a trivia question, you know the answer. What was the point of asking if you didn't know? Was there something special about him and his rebounds?

I know he had 10 points, but I don't have rebounds listed.

This is certainly the best from UAB I've seen.

I think today's game should be dedicated to Nebraska's Carl McPipe

LOL Gorilla if you ask a trivia question you gotta know the answer!!

I was just guessing to be a smart azz, but I'd like to know how close I was! I assumed it was a big number since you asked the question..

A little research tells me he averaged 7.5 rebounds in 1978-79. He had 196'rebounds that year.

What else do you need to know about Carl McPipe?

I want to know how many rebounds McPipe had in that specific game

We are currently second in the nation in rebounding with 54 per game. Future opponent LSU is first with 54.3 per game. New Mexico is ninth with 48.

Nebraska is way down at 231st with only 35 a game. Let's out-board them by 20+ today.

I was just seeing how deep Memphis Blazer could dig for an individual stat, even if it was all the way back to square one(game one).
