1) Iriafen had the most points by a Stanford player since Nneka in 2011.  She surpassed anything Chiney could do even when it was "Chiney and the Chinettes."

2) Iriafeni said she has been working on that mid range jump shot since last summer, when it became clear that other teams were taking charges to prevent her from driving.  She noted that maybe she loves the mid range shot too much now--I take it the coaches would like to see her drive even more.

3) Jump:  "As much as I love Maples, I didn't want my season to end here tonight.  It was emotional for me, to be here and to play in front of this crowd one more time, they've been incredible, and tonight they were super loud, and I think that was very helpful for us, especially down the stretch."

4)  Kiki:  "It was VERY physical, but they had great sportsmanship, and that made it fun.  Kudos to them."

5) Tara: "They shot 64% from three and made 12.  You are not going to win too many games if you give that up.  We did get confused on some screens."

6) Tara:  "Talana has been struggling with her knee."

7) Tara: "We were up against a team that was hotter than snot out there, there were times when we were 'right there' and they still made shots."

8) Tara noted that our rebounding goes down when Cam is not in and Kiki is shooting.   My interpretation: neither of our two bigs are around the boards for O-boards under those circumstances.

9) Tara noted that we did not double Crooks since we had to stay out on the three point shooters, but credited Brink and Iriafen for executing the scouting report on Crooks.
