Looking at the 2nd half rebounding, which was better than I realized.
In the whole 2nd half, UCLA only had 6 defensive rebounds.  That will squelch any transition offense.
UCLA had 17 transition chances (non-team DR + steals) in the first half and only 6 in the 2nd half.

(Team rebounds are missed shots that go out of bounds.  Non-team rebounds are credited to a player.)

1st half:             Stanford end  UCLA end
FG:                       S: 13      U: 10
Missed FGA:               S: 21      U: 20
Non-team rebounds:       S:5 U:14   S:11 U:5
Rebounds at each end:    S:6 U:14   S:15 U:5
Off. reb. percent:        S: 30%     U: 25%
Steals:                   U: 3      S: 3

2nd half:            Stanford end  UCLA end
FG:                       S: 12      U: 11
Missed FGA:               S: 15      U: 23
Non-team rebounds:       S:7 U:4    S:15 U:3
Rebounds at each end:    S:8 U:6    S:19 U:6
Off. reb. percent:        S: 57%     U: 24%
Steals:                   U: 2       S: 1

Stanford and UCLA rebounded about the same in the first half (within 1 rebound).
2nd half defensive rebounds were about the same for Stanford (a bit better).
But the 2nd half offensive rebounds were outstanding.

In terms of rebounds that went into someone's hands,  Stanford got 64% of those under its own basket in the 2nd half.  Amazing.

I don't know if UCLA played differently in the 2nd half, which hurt their defensive rebounds, or whether Stanford played differently, preventing the defensive rebounds.  I expect the latter.  But maybe it was chance.

At one point, Mary said something about one of the UCLA guards being among the best rebounding guards in the country.  My reaction to that was "That must mean she isn't doing transition defense, freeing her up to seek rebounds."
