The Stanford women's basketball team is making a significant comeback in the NCAA Tournament following a disappointing end to their Pac-12 Tournament run. As they prepare for March Madness, the spotlight is on several key players, including one of Stanford's most decorated players, Cameron Brink, and Kiki Iriafen, who has emerged as a vital contributor. Brink and Hannah Jump are playing their final games at Maples Pavilion, marking an end of an era for Stanford. Iriafen, previously a nonfactor in her first two NCAA Tournaments, has now scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the first-round win on Friday, highlighting her importance for the team's success in the tournament.
OPINION: A nonfactor in her previous two NCAA Tournaments, Kiki Iriafen scored 17 points and had nine rebounds in Stanford’s first-round win. Her contributions will be vital if the Cardinal are to play deep into March, writes columnist Ann Killion. https://t.co/AabWAB6bPr
OPINION: "The story this weekend is that this is the last time that Cameron Brink and Hannah Jump will play at Maples Pavilion. But it’s also about the player who will carry the Stanford women’s team into the future: Kiki Iriafen," writes Ann Killion. https://t.co/KHlU1EP5Ny

On the court, she’s become a star. Off of it, she keeps @StanfordWBB’s team upbeat and going. @kikiiriafen has big plans in life, but winning an NCAA Tournament is the focus right now. #MarchMadness | @KPIXtv https://t.co/ubZYDkp4I2
