2023-24 ISU WBB Season Thread
- Thread starter theshadow
- Start date
It is a curious non-selection to anything. They did vote her preseason All-Big 12, and while she didn't deserve that in the final pick it seems she should still have been honorable mention. I am not a big Ryan fan but think she did get slighted. Will be even more dilution next year when we have even more teams in the league. The player pool is getting pretty big and teams don't play twice. Not like coaches are sitting around all season pondering a player they will see once.
If, imho, things turn out the way they seem to be going there are going to be a few awards next year which you may not be thrilled with Boxster.

Nice interview with Audi backstage at the GBB state tournament.
So, next stop in this surprisingly fun season is selection and seeding time. I usually like to mock Cremeski and his bracketology BS but did take a look for amusement and entertainment purposes. He has us in LA across from USC. That would be one was to get eyes on Iowa State, Crooks up against the new media darling freshman JuJu Watkins!
Brittney Griner freshman year at Baylor, 18.4 pts 8.5 rebounds
Audi Crooks freshman year at ISU, 18.9 pts 7.7 rebounds
Edit: Different kind of players as Griner was a rim protecting shot blocker to but they are both dominant posts and pts/rbs are so close.

I am getting soft. How these five came to my beloved Iowa State brought a tear to my eye.
Are the robes Audi was so wont to possess similar to this wrestling robe? If not is there an image of the real WBB robe?
How we have done historically as a #7. Try to ignore the cut/paste formatting.
Interesting that the best #7 for us was taking #2 to OT with freshmen Donarski, Ryan and Feuerbach starting. And in Texas versus a Texas School.
| 2008 | #7 | First Round Second Round | #10 Georgia Tech #2 Rutgers | W 58–55 L 58–69 |
| 2014 | #7 | First Round | #10 Florida State | L 44–55 |
| 2021 | #7 | First Round Second Round | #10 Michigan State #2 Texas A&M | W 79–75 L 82–84 (OT) |

7/8/9/10 games between P5 schools is always sort of a pick'em to me unless it's just a bad match up for a team. Maryland is not a bad matchup for us considering they don't play great defense so I'm throwing this one into the pick'em. If Brown can score to support Audi and some three shooting we might be okay. Bad side is while Maryland is down a lot this year they have two Sweet Sixteens and one Elite Eight in the last three tournaments. Of course those were hosting at home and not traveling cross-country to play as as a #10.
I took Maryland. I feel like every time I take ISU to win in these situations I jinx the Cyclones so I did a reverse jinx.
Thanks!
I don't do picks but if I did I'd probably pick ISU. Not that I'll be bummed much if they lose but think advancing one would be a big deal for the freshman and something to build on. Plus, even for the non-ISU fans, an ISU game with Audi and the freshmen versus Stanford would be a better TV game story than #10 Maryland who is usually a #2.
I think you’ve hit it on the nose. Brown has to be a major contributor. Texas removed her from the game last weekend. Good rotations, ball movement on offense and hit the open looks. On defense good on ball defense.
Congratulations Audi!
