Regarding the opponent ORs:

An opponent can do what Stanford usually does: 
 1)  When your team's shot goes up, you turn around and hustle back on defense
or 2) You compete for the rebound.  If the defending team is used to not having to block out for DR, then you can do really well.

Since we almost never fast break, they chose (2) and it worked for them.  

It appeared to me that they were pushing the Stanford rebounders deep under the basket so as to give themselves a good position, but I didn't specifically watch for that.  Just an impression until I see the (partial) replay.
