Tar Heels Say They Need to 'Gang Rebound'

Posted Oct 21, 2026
Indiana grabbed 22 more rebounds than the Tar Heels, and it was the biggest factor in the outcome. "Anytime you get that outrebounded, 5- to-31 — that's a crazy number," first-year UNC Coach Michael Malone said after the game inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse. "We gave up 20 offensive rebounds for 17 points. That was a point of emphasis all week." (TarHeel247)
