Brink fouled out with more than 8 minutes to go. Iriafen had three early early fouls, now playing with four. Two NCSU players - front liners - also have four fouls but the Wolf Pack has smothered Stanford in the second half once the foul situation forced their two stars to rein it all back - 15 point NCSU lead, now down to ten with ten minutes to go. Really shocking turn in this game which Stanford was controlling - Iriafen hadn't done much but Brink had 13 points, 7 blocks!, 9 RBs, 3 assists and was easily dominating the game until she picked up her fourth foul.
Was hoping for 5 Pac-12 teams into the Elite Eight. Oregon State is already in. Stanford should be as well but the hole is too deep for them to climb out of
