I'm just a fan, but we can agree otherwise!
Big fan here also. I’m really rooting for her. Just so so so well spoken and easy to root for !
Go Clones !!
Go Clones !!
She is such a positive influence for this team. Hoping she develops a hook shot so that she can take better advantage of her post-up moves.
Plus she doesn’t constantly flex and say let’s gooooo after shooting 35 times a night yet never winning a conference title even
Yeah, she is a neat and awesome young lady. And a great Cyclone! Plus a pretty dang good basketball player.
Plus she has the personality and confidence to be more of a media feature for ISU. It's not the programs culture but I think they could promote her more in the future and let her shine some in media outside of stuff just produced by ISU. Downside is we don't have a real network like the Big Ten has where they talk about players/teams all of the time. We don't have a conference lead in program or post game TV on ESPN+ where most of our games are ending up this season. Tuning in to stream something specific isn't the same as turning on a main channel featuring your conference 24/7.
Even in the heat of battle tonight she had a couple of times where she flashed that great smile of hers. She is an amazing young lady.
Hung around waiting for crowd to thin out and after she did radio she was all over chatting with people.
Tonight was first time I saw her play and was impressed by hands catching passes and soft touch on shots.
As she adjusts to the speed of the game, good times are ahead for her. If Iowa is the #4 ranked team nationally, their Bigs had their problems trying to guard her. Seemed like BF did not have her on the floor much when Iowa pulled away so her conditioning for 4 quarters probably isn’t there yet.
I haven't seen where her conditioning has been a problem in games this year. I think Bill went small late trying to better guard Clark at the three point line. Clark was getting open three point looks all night whenever our two centers were on the floor just by Iowa's center setting a high screen.
Friend's daughter played with her on her AAU team.
She's as wonderful a person as she is a player.
Fantastic young lady.
Happy she's a Cyclone.

Eff all the hok fans commenting on Audi's body last night. She's so fun to watch. I'm glad she's a Cyclone.
She has done a great job in getting into Div 1 shape and agree that in this slow paced game she was "gassed". This was not the up and down the court pace that Iowa wanted and would have maybe called for her to get a rest. We did go small late in the game. The odd gal out was Natabou.
It was interesting that Bill played Bristow at the 5 late in the game. I think that was a good adjustment to try and limit Clark's three point looks, but I'm not sure why we were trying to get Bristow the ball in the post. I think she has a ton of upside because she is very athletic and long, but I thought we had better offensive options late in the game than that.
I'm a huge fan of her. She's quick, good hands, finishes well, and gives 100% all the time. She was so well spoken after the game last night.
I heard last year she'd stay after her games and help clean up the gym.

She also SMILES. Her attitude reminds me a lot of Haliburton.
She has been great- The team has been great together too. This group will have a lot to be proud of in the future.
