So now we are now just ordinary.

I think someone kicked his arse (deserved no doubt) when he visited the LSU campus. I just hope the team sees every negative column about how Yale is going to upset them.

And these Tigers weren’t as good as their outright conference title would suggest in the first place.
GTFO with that weak arse BS. This is lazy journalism at its best.
Yahoo just wants more clicks on its wiretap story, so it's going to pick the upset and hope people will read why. Bunch o cucks.

They won it with offense, and their offense sustains itself on ferocious rebounding. Keep them to one shot – as Yale might just be able to do – and they’re a relatively ordinary team.
His entire premise is that if you can keep LSU off the offensive boards then they become an ordinary team. Then he suggests Yale might be able to do that.
To show you just how little these "journalist" actually attempt to breakdown the stats, Yale gives up an average of 8.2 offensive rebounds per game, ranking 159th in the country in that statistic. LSU averages 12.4 offensive rebounds per game, ranking 2nd in the country. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, suggests that Yale is capable of keeping LSU off the offensive boards.

All he said was we rely a lot on offensive rebounds (true statement) and Yale does not give up a lot of offensive rebounds (true statement).
Our offense has a tendency to go on huge dry spells, and without our head coach to make adjustments that will probably be an issue. All he said is if they keep us of the offensive boards Yale could give us trouble. It's a big if, but it isn't a lie.
ETA: The poster above me says they rank 159th in allowing offensive rebounds, I read an article earlier saying they were 24th in that same category. I could be wrong. I will research.
ETA: The poster above me listed an incorrect statistic. They are not 159th in the country. They are 40th. Sports Reference Team Stats

Not to mention, it's hard to miss dunks.

And that still only tells part of the story. I doubt there were a bunch rabid rebounding athletic freaks in the fricking Ivy League. Yale hasn't face Bigby, Taylor, Williams, etc.

Saw Yale v Harvard the other day. Yale is run and gun, and doesnt have inside size. They dont back door screen every possession like Princeton and Penn.

I looked back at the box score for they game against Duke, who is 6th in the nation averaging 12.1 offensive rebounds per game. Yale gave up 14 offensive rebounds that game, so I don't see them slowing LSU down much.

I don't know what stat you are looking at.
Opponent Offensive Rebounds Per Game
ETA: Nevermind, I see your error. That link you provided is for last year's team. Yale is indeed 159th in the nation in OREB allowed.

Sports reference shows they are 55th. not 40th, that was my bad. Idk how these two sites are so conflicting.

That has to be the number of offensive rebounds their opponents averaged, not necessarily how many offensive rebounds Yale gives up.
Team rankings has been pretty reliable.
