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."

That lines up with something 81alum posted before the game:

Already I learned that UCLA uses a "chuck and chase" strategy on offense, which means taking a shot and having all 5 players converge for an offensive rebound.  What that means is IF we come up with the rebound there should be opportunities to score in transition.  That is probably why their speedy guards have so many rebounds, but there is a downside to this strategy.
