The Stanford women got it done against Kansas State today in 3 x 3 play by a score of 19-14. Baskets were pretty well distributed amongst the Stanford team of Fran Belibi (3), Brooke Demetre (4), Jzaniya Harriel (6), and Kiki Iriafen (6). A 3x3 game is won by either the first trio to score 21 points or by scoring the most points in the ten minute game.
The game favors quick three pointers and Harriel was willing to comply. She score three of the four three-pointers the team Stanford made. Demetre scored the other. Belibi made her pre-game dunk before being very aggressive during game time. Iriafen was the most effective player going to the rim, scoring five field goals and one free throw.
In 3x3 play, each basket scored behind the arc counts only two and closer baskets count one. Free throws also count one. If baskets were counted as they are counted in a standard game, point totals would have been Belini 5, Demetre 6, Harriel 9, and Iriafen 11.
Fun game, worth getting up at 6AM on a Saturday for it, and a great defensive effort by the Stanford players.
