The defense is guard Jump, quadruple team Iriafen and just count that other Stanford players will build a brick wall from 3 point land.

Right.  Charmin Smith invented that defense last season and many have copied it, often to good effect.  But this year we seem to have hit enough threes to overcome that kind of defense.  3/15 is not going to do it.

A lot will depend on whether Brink can get through the 3rd quarter without picking up a 4th foul, and whether Jump will do more than 0/1.  If Brink and Jump have to find a way to make positive contributions in the second half.  The rest of the team can't win without them.
