GT knows how to attack the zone and by attack offensive rebounding is part of it.  They know the angles of the shots taken and where to go spot wise to be in the right position for an offensive rebound and at times it does coincide with some players leaking out but by far not all the time.  If you could look at how they did this from above you'd notice how they attack the boards when each situation occurs such as jumping out at a shooter or the high/low pass and how the other forwards go to help and it frees the offensive rebounder.  Other than Fab or let's just say the 5 position,  SU is not getting the blocks like they were earlier but yet trying for them from their 4/3 positions and when they miss that slot opens up for the offensive rebound.  That's not all of it but kids are getting beat for their spots as well.  It's the nature of the beast playing the zone with two guys that 6'7" 6'6" with no girth, you're quick to the jumpers but you get hurt a bit inside.   If you have a big guy playing 4 that can't jump out on the corner j we'd have a different problem but rebounding would improve.
