**** WBB: ISU vs #4 Baylor Saturday 12 pm ESPN+ GAME THREAD ****

[jdubs]

Pretty impressive response from a young team given Baylor's run and our sloppiness with the ball.

 

[jsb]

Audi is just so stinking good.

 

[JM4CY]

"Give the ball to Audi" is a fine offense in my opinion.

I haven’t watch the women much but holy hell is that an understatement.

Audi Crooks' basketball IQ is off the charts for a freshman

They're a bit like this year's ISU MBB team in that they aren't perfect for sure but they don't quit.

Emily is the first one to greet the players for the timeout.

Think of how good she'll be in a year!

 

[clonebb]

Audi doesnt play like a freshman. Imagine her with a couple years experience. Double double machine.

 

[mj4cy]

Audi is so fun to watch. She's the reason this is a game.

 

[clonebb]

Defense needs to tighten up.

Keep driving if they are going to call fouls

 

[Cycsk]

So, we may get to see a shootout with Crooks scoring 30+. I like that we can score from inside or outside. Hope the double teams on Crooks also lead to open shots from Diew and Bristow.

Audi is halfway there!

 

[CYDJ]

Well, I like the only get down by 13 before starting the comeback strategy, I think that is better than the 19 point one. Keep it up gals.

 

[JP4CY]

Just need to stop their long runs

This game illustrates the beating that Crooks has to endure game in and game out. The opposition will push that envelop as much as the refs allow. Right now, Crooks is drawing quite a few calls but it still has to wear on her. That's why I am even more impressed with her every game I see her play.

 

[Tpups21]

This game is still very winnable. Just need to limit the turnovers. Not overly impressed by Baylor in that first half.

 

[ABECyguy]

It’s really strange to see a Baylor team without the dominant posts they always seemed to have with Mulkey. Audi has just gone to work on them inside and I love seeing it!

Took me a a bit. Their app SUCKS.

I have the Hulu, Disney and ESPN+ bundle. Typically all the ESPN+ games show up when I go to the hulu sports menu. Today I had to go specifically to the ESPN+ app and login.

wtf is that ****? That is the one of the worst missed travel calls I’ve ever seen. Literally nothing else for the refs to look for.

They can’t call a travel on review. They can only verify it was out of her hands before the clock expired. Totally missed call. they haven’t been consistent. Baylor doesn’t think they will foul out the team so they kept committing fouls.

I thought the BYU game was worst. They were constantly grabbing and holding her arm. New respect what dominant post players have to endure in the game.
