Defense 1st, Rebounding 2nd, Offense 3rd. It may not be pretty, but it sure leads to team oriented basketball and more importantly, winning basketball.
IU so far has outrebounded every opponent, despite not having a ton of size. Rebounding is all about effort and the effort is definitely there.

What a great quote from Coach Sampson below:
"The thing about our team is that we wanted to be better today than we were November 2. Our team is improving, and we are a lot better today than we were two weeks ago. As we go forward, it is important to be better on January 2. I really think we will be as long as these kids come to practice everyday and work and compete and play hard. The theme of this year will be to keep getting better. There are so many times we want to look at the journey as a destination and this is not a destination for us. We are learning how to compete and play hard. Whatever we are doing is a work in progress. Defensively, we are a whole lot better than we were two weeks ago and as we progress in this season, with this team, we will get better because the kids are learning how to work. Learning how to work hard is key in life, and the kids are learning to be givers, not takers."AMEN!
