Every year is a bit of a stretch. We have been top 100 in defensive rebounding 3 times in 13 Cronin seasons, and top 200 in 7 seasons (more than half). This year we are exceptionally weak. I think some of it has to do with backcourt size. Broome and Jenifer don't really rebound at all, and usually our 3 is only 6'5". Our only guys who grab more than 12% of defensive rebounds are all 6'8" or taller.

we can't afford to let them get their misses when they do miss.
Sure we can. We've been doing it for years. We just need to make up for it in other areas. I think the key against Xavier will be 3pt shooting. X gives up a ton of threes at a high percentage.
