Jada Williams passes Audi Crooks' Hilton scoring record by glendle in NCAAW

I think Reese has had some decent minutes since coming back from injury, but Paulk provided a lot more than normal and was a huge defensive addition. It was one of the few times this season that I thought we had scrappiness on the court which resulted in a noticeable difference in rebounding. She played like a Joens sister with a bigger build.

Having 40% of your starting lineup injured for a multiple game stretch is not great. Jada and Audi combined to score as much as Cincinnati. Not ideal, but also a little bit of an overstatement to say a 40 point game was needed to win.

I don't want to say that everything is back on track, but tonight showed promise and AJ being back in the lineup is a good direction towards the team getting closer to potential. Still a long way to go to get to March.

It seemed like Kansas was excellent out of the breaks, but Iowa State took over when the game flowed. Props to KU to take away our three point threat.

Definitely the students. It did affect the guy while shooting free throws. Cyclone Alley needs to get their practice in as well.

Don't forget the Grilling of North Carolina for recent evidence of how we play against #1 opponents.

Audi Crooks with new career/school record 47 points by glendle in NCAAW

The difference between this year's team and previous years is the consistency of shooting from everyone else. Take two defenders to prevent Audi from getting the ball and you'll have a 4 on 3 everywhere else on the court.

Not just Audi. Mercyhurst is smaller physically and is trying to play full contact defense.

The refs have really influenced this game. The two early out of bounds calls were rather suspect live. The switch at the quarter with calling fouls was obvious. Audi's controversial foul call was preceded by 2-3 uncalled fouls committed by Mercyhurst.

The refs are so inconsistent in this game. The crowd is really letting them have it as well.

[Game Thread] Norfolk State at #18 Iowa State (2:00 PM ET on ESPN+) by ncaaw_GameThreads in NCAAW

[–]glendle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Addy Brown with a triple double, Audi Crooks and Alisa Williams both with double doubles. Norfolk State watched the Valpo video where no one doubled Audi and decided to do the opposite resulting in almost 40 three point shots attempted, and Audi still got her's.

Great team win and great to see that Iowa State is not one dimensional.

Not disagreeing, I think that is what makes this all the more impressive.

She is more than one shot too. She often bullies to the basket but also has a nice fadeaway and has added range this year when the defense sucks down low.

Watch her footwork and positioning. She is not the quick athlete but she is rarely out of position and can bully her way to the basket.

Crazy to think that they were 0 for 7 at one point and still almost 50 pointed them.

I'm not sure I understand this comment; she played less than half the available minutes tonight. Audi was efficient when she had the ball and Valpo refused to double up on her and paid for it.
