Forty-percent of the time, when the North Carolina Tar Heels miss a shot, they grab the offensive rebound.
Wisconsin will have to work to keep them off the offensive boards in Friday’s first-round game of the N-C-A-A tournament.
Badgers coach Greg Gard went to a smaller lineup during the Big Ten Conference season. He may decide to play Micah Potter and Nate Reuvers at the same time against North Carolina which averages 14 offensive rebounds-a-game.
Protecting the ball is a big advantage for the Badgers. They make very few turnovers, while the Tar Heels have been one of the most error-prone teams in the country.
