MID-RANGE: CAN WISCONSIN CONSISTENTLY GENERATE SECOND CHANCES?
Wisconsin over their last two games has done well of generating second chances for themselves on the offensive end as over that time span the Badgers have averaged 13.5 offensive rebounds a contest.
Wisconsin’s recent success in this area isn’t good news for Nebraska considering the Cornhuskers over Big Ten play are allowing 12.6 offensive rebounds a game.
Making it important that the Badgers continue to attack the offensive glass once a shot goes up. If they do they should give themselves a chance of generating plenty of second chances.
Tyler Wahl leads the team in offensive rebounds with 32, Nate Reuvers has registered 30, and Aleem Ford 28 to round out the top three. Wahl’s ability to consistently hustle and track down the basketball once a shot goes up for Wisconsin has helped him lead the Badgers in offensive rebounds.
The second chances Wisconsin has been able to generate over the last two games has led to an average of 13.5-second chance points. Wisconsin over conference play has averaged 8.2 offensive rebounds a game, which they have turned into an average of 7.7-second chance points.
