Hope so. He didn't have any Off. rebounds in the last game and only one rebound overall.The thing I am most worried about is how well Iowa State pressures the ball and creates turnovers. Tamin Lipsey is a straight up problem and he was named a finalist for Naismith Defensive Player of the Year. 2.7 steals per game is ridiculous. Keshon Gilbert isn't too far behind and Sixth Man Curtis Jones is right there as well. If there was one downside to Shannon's game against Duquesne it was that the turned it over more than you'd like. As we all know, Illinois does not have a "true" point guard so this could be an area of concern.
The one thing I am most excited about is rebounding. Iowa State is a below average rebounding team and Illinois is amongst the best in the nation. If shots are going off because they didn't turn Illinois over, then Illinois has a great chance of coming down with the rebound on any misses and getting second chance opportunities. Offensive rebounds are an area where Ty Rodgers could potentially shine.
