In a word, nothing.
It's not legal for the player with the ball to use a hand/elbow/forearm to prevent a defender from attacking the ball. (FED 4-24-7; NCAA 4-34-5. The NCAA rule doesn't specifically address a defender attacking the ball, but it does say that you can't extend the arm to hinder the normal movement of your opponent.)
