It's just this simple: The rest of the team hasn't made any defense pay for triple teaming Stokes. Stokes recognizes, gets the ball out to the open man, shot goes up... clunk!
Wouldn't be surprised to see Memphis try doubling Stokes, doubling Reese, and leaving a "sweeper" to claim the inevitable rebound.
Gotta make 'em pay at the boards, Yemi!
Also wouldn't be surprised to see Memphis make an effort to put Makanjuola on the bench with early foul trouble.
That leaves Lopez... can he get the ball all the way to the hole? THAT would change the whole equation for Memphis' defense.
