Matsui.When Matsui and company miss, Baumann and sophomore Ben Nwachukwu are there to clean up the glass. The duo has combined for nearly 12 boards per game as part of the league’s top rebounding squad.“We take it personally going into every game to make sure that we dominate the boards, not just win them,” Cusworth said. “We know the importance of winning...
