Voila, our second worst rebounding percentage of the season. (Our worst was the P12 conference final where Tara decided to implement that wacky new defense on the fly - our rebounding percentage dropped from 50% the first time we played USC to a miserable 36.8%).
If you subtract "team rebounds" (out-of-bounds, etc; they had 8 to our 5),
ISU had 11 OR & 23 DR on (total 36 misses) 7 missed 3's and 29 missed 2's and <6 missed FT,
Stanford had 8 OR & 23 DR on (total 38 misses) 17 missed 3's, 21 missed 2's, and <1 missed FT
(I didn't look to see how many FT were rebounded.)
So we got 26% of our OR possibilities and 68% of our DR possibilities. Give us a 94 and ISU a 106.
Given our 2 extra misses, you'd expect them to get about 1.5 extra rebounds, when they actually got 3 more.
Not the best, but not anything to lose sleep over.

Smiley or not, that would be a disaster. I would only wish that on an opponent.
