I think we are going to see more of the Brink, Belibi and Jones lineup against UCLA and for the rest of the season.  Defensively it’s strong because all of those players can defend the rim against speedy guards or get out to the 3-point line against bigs that shoot 3’s.  Offensively it’s a quite an anti-spacing lineup because none of them shoot 3’s effectively.  But that’s not really the point.  The point here is to punish the opponent with offensive rebounds.  Yes defenses can clog the paint and make it hard for Brink to catch a post entry but that’s ok because we’ll have Jones initiate the offense with a mid-range jumper and if she misses, we’ll have Brink and Belibi crashing the boards.
