Just got into women's college hoops this year and this was my first time watching an Iowa State game. I already admired Crooks based on stats and highlights but there's something about seeing somebody playing the entire game. She's phenomenal! Her and Hidalgo (who is now my personal favorite hooper of all time) and Watkins and Clark will make for an amazing core for the 2028 Olympics.
Iowa State has super-skinny #11 Emily Ryan and super-heavy #55 Audi Crooks. Even their jersey numbers reflect their sizes. Great game for both players to come back from a 20 point deficit.
To people criticizing Crooks' defense i.e. allowing 3-pointers. Two things, she's probably COACHED to not go out and defend those shots. Secondly, let's remember she got 12 rebounds, so ANOTHER dub-dub for her. She doesn't get those rebounds if she's defending out on the perimeter.
From FIELD? You mean from the EXACT same spot, directly under the basket off the RIGHT side of the backboard every single time? 😂. I don't think I've ever in my life seen a shot chart like that lmao.
Audi Crooks is a baller. Let's not forget she's only a freshman from a small Iowa town. Can't wait to see how she improves next year with strength and conditioning.
strength and conditioning has always been the key with her. can't believe her offers were limited with all the Power 5 programs with elite strength and conditioning resources....dumb.
@TTundragrizzly Yes!?! I believe she's a baller 40pts says yes. I'm an Iowa fan and follow local HS tourny. So yes, small Iowa town. I was hoping she would go to Iowa instead of ISU. Audi Crooks played 34 minutes. That's a lot for a freshman post. So yes, what will she do with a season of strength and conditioning? So yes.
Two things that seem to be the story of this game: 1. Audi Crooks' 40 points 2. The other part that few talk about - Iowa State rallied from 20 down to get the victory; second-largest comeback in the women's tournament, IIRC
I don't think I've ever in my life seen a shot chart like this. She has literally ONE spot on the floor. Right side of the backboard... every time lol. But hey, if it works. 😂

Shiish 🔥 That's Awesome.. Congrats Audi Crooks.. She'll Dominate the League One Day.. With her IQ and Anticipation, She hasn't scratched her full potential yet 🙏
People who say Crooks didn't play defense obviously didn't watch the game. The girl she was guarding who made like 7 threes was someone who had not taken many threes at all during the season so she was probably told to let her shoot for a while. She didn't leave her open without a reason.
Wowww...Never thought I'd see a female Escalade! If you don't know who that is, it's Mark Jackson's late brother who played w/ The And 1 Mixtape crew 💯
They're playing in Palo Alto, California. Maryland is 3000 miles away. There's a snow storm in Iowa & the home team played already. You people are real smart 🤔
@@mongoslade277what does a snowstorm in Iowa have to do with it?? What, the supporters in Iowa can’t go to the airport to fly to California? Newsflash*** they did! That’s who you see in the crowd. Also same goes with Maryland supporters. The fact is, it’s womens basketball. Everyone knows it’s painful to watch.
When I saw her HS clips, Zach Randolph's footwork and positional play came to mind. I figure, Zion relies on too much burst and verticality to be a better comp for her style.
@@SalterEA yep. Audi and Eddie (Winslow) rely on positioning, footwork and leverage: they're unathletic ballplayers. Zion is all motor. I hope he makes enough money to last because his wheels sure won't. Nobody's wheels last.
Aren’t all of the fried goals shown here? Only see crooks score 10 field goals, all ‘layups’, well… static, netball looking shots under the basket. But if she shot 4-8 FT that’s 24 points. 8 shots missing? 🤔
Good teams aren’t going to just let her stand in the same spot and keep making gimme layups. She will get absolutely owned when it isn’t a bad Maryland team
Crooks wasn't playing a lick of defense and showed some pretty bad defensive awareness with the way she was playing help defense at times. Nice job bodying everyone offensively though.
Are you in the NBA? Did you ball in college? HS even? Because if you ain't on no squad, anywhere, then apparently they don't let "anyone" ball these days. 2K don't count either. 😂😂😂
This is like watching a grown man play against toddlers. When you weigh 100 pounds more than everyone on the court of course you'll dominate the paint. This is terrible lol
Well yeah against a bad Maryland team. When they run into a good team they arent gonna let her stand there and make the same shot over and over she’ll get steamrolled. Bank on it
Aint no such thing as halfway Crooks
Easily the best comment. It's early but we gotta get this remark boosted up there. Well played.
Every superhero needs her theme music.
🥶🥶
Maryland was scared to death 💀
@@rustynail1071they shook!
really entertaining to watch crooks dominate on offense, but also to watch the opposing team target her every play on defense lol.
Lmfao complete defensive liability but she’s a unit
Both comments put it perfectly.
6:20 proves your point perfectly lol
@@drphot6050 nice take, danggg that's a doozy

I'm 6 minutes in the video and she has scored twice. Where the rest of the 40?
She didn’t play the entire game
Imagine an obese out of shape guy trying to play in the NBA 😂
Audi Crooks is awesome and I’m here to say “you go Audi!” Girl is unstoppable in the post!
Iowa State has super-skinny #11 Emily Ryan and super-heavy #55 Audi Crooks. Even their jersey numbers reflect their sizes. Great game for both players to come back from a 20 point deficit.
There's a new Round Mound of Rebound!

*Crooks went 18-20 from the field 😳*
Kept feeding her!!!
Crooks? Is she the hamblurgar?
@@mkingadiffernceno she already eats enough lol
Not hard when every shot you up is from under the hoop

4:58 half way through and she has 17 points already and not even 1 highlight of her scoring. The editor of this video should be called out
If u seen one basket from her u seem them all tho lol
I am overjoyed for Audi's successes. She as well as others have evolved woman's basketball. I AM A FAN!
Scoring 40 on 90% shooting is crazy. She was dominating
They misspelled Highlights in the description
😂😂😂
My boy said that the "i" was eaten so they replaced it with o
you mean the title
6:30 That is embarrassing.
I don't think I've ever in my life seen a shot chart like this. She has literally ONE spot on the floor. Right side of the backboard... every time lol. But hey, if it works. 😂
Sound like they just couldn't stop her

Iowa coach did a great job with staying with Crooks since the big from Maryland was making a lot of 3's early.
Iowa State*
Her defense is atrocious
What defence? The intentionally ran the ball at her every play
I had to come and see how she got all their points
Yooo this tournament is the best thing on television
There's 25 ppl attending
@@knightrider693no one who saw wilts 100 point game will ever see this comment. That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
@@knightrider693did you get dissed by a female basketball player?
@@IcyUuUuIt didn't happen
Now this is the real March madness! The packed house going wild non stop…. The players looking huge, and quick……. Non stop action baby!!!!!
I guess there's no 3 second violation in the women's game. Crooks is building campfires and roasting marshmallows in the lane.
I wanna see Nia Jax & Crooks as a tag team in the WWE!
50-30 RB was the turning point
People who say Crooks didn't play defense obviously didn't watch the game. The girl she was guarding who made like 7 threes was someone who had not taken many threes at all during the season so she was probably told to let her shoot for a while. She didn't leave her open without a reason.
What an athlete!
Wow.. that was amazing basketball right there!! I’m officially a fan of women’s college basketball.
Welcome to the club it's really exclusive. Mostly because there are only 9 other ppl on earth that said what u just did
8:12 lil smoked left hand layup 😂😂
Unbelievable comeback.
Yo Crooks +- had to be crazy. Girl is a Liability on Defense but was a Bully on Offense. Great game
40 points 90% 18-20
A walking bucket. She is a PROBLEM
Easily defended. Maryland was just to cocky they could outshoot them all night and the buckets stopped coming.
I think her weight is gonna be the problem
She is a problem... A problem in defense! She needed to score 40... Coz she gave up about 50
55 playing the worst defense ive ever seen
Iowa state has NO chance against Stanford...Stanford are TOO smart LOL
She like Jokic
Nope she Shaq
0 assists impressive still but not Jokic. Or maybe her teammates can't shoot? Idk didn't watch the game
she can jump higher then jokic
Roberta Tractor Trailer
The was magnificent 😊
@5:51 - 👏
@6:07 - #W--#W❕

I didn't know that was Mark Jackson's brother ....
Good game, Cooke , Cooked
She did her thing great game can’t wait for my lil sis to hoop in college 🙌🏼
-20 while on the court.
Kenneth lofton jr is cooking 🥵 v:
She out here lookin like the orange monster off space jam when he got Charles Barkley’s talent.
Car by name.. car by nature
For realz they should have named her Mack Truck
AUDI !!
She dropped 40 but they won’t make it far because she doesn’t play defense & she can barely jump off the floor to contest a shot/rebound
Is this preseason game? Looks like only family and close friends showed up.
Lol you would think so but it's the college playoffs
@@breskinnerto be fair it's just a horrible sport to watch women play. Looks goofy and uncoordinated if you've ever seen men play
They're playing in Palo Alto, California. Maryland is 3000 miles away. There's a snow storm in Iowa & the home team played already. You people are real smart 🤔
@mongoslade277 yeah sure whatever helps you sleep at night
@@mongoslade277what does a snowstorm in Iowa have to do with it??
What, the supporters in Iowa can’t go to the airport to fly to California?
Newsflash*** they did!
That’s who you see in the crowd.
Also same goes with Maryland supporters.
The fact is, it’s womens basketball. Everyone knows it’s painful to watch.
Female Zion?
When I saw her HS clips, Zach Randolph's footwork and positional play came to mind. I figure, Zion relies on too much burst and verticality to be a better comp for her style.
Zion relies on solely his legs. Audi is an unathletic player.
@@SalterEA yep. Audi and Eddie (Winslow) rely on positioning, footwork and leverage: they're unathletic ballplayers.
Zion is all motor. I hope he makes enough money to last because his wheels sure won't. Nobody's wheels last.

40pts all offense. 0 defense😂 … but for real respect to her up and down the court like that!
Huge game!
The refs let 55 for ISU get away with too much serious pushing.
Nice win.
What a rally for the W
Iowa State better get their defense together are they will be going home soon. Good teams aren't going to let u come back like that. Ijs
Good teams aren’t going to just let her stand in the same spot and keep making gimme layups. She will get absolutely owned when it isn’t a bad Maryland team
Highlights misspelled in the title
Intense 🔥
The Frese era is over. Maryland is not a threat anymore. 😂😂😂😂
ESPN official channel btw. HIGHLOGHTS. Good job.
39 points ish wow !!!
She had 40. But I guess she did.
So ESPN is covering this game with a barely half full arena.
It's the NCAA tournament dude
This is the worst highlight reel she dropped a silent 40 lol 😂
Shaq 😂 would be proud BBQ CHICKEN
Lose 50 pounds then she could play defense.
MOST DOMINANT FORCE SINCE SHAQ AUDI CROOKS!
Who is thick girl wearing number 55
Audi is silver ❤❤❤
I’m pretty sure the only game worn jersey that I would fit in is #55 crooks. She is an inspiration and a hero to fat guys everywhere.
No she's not only in women's basketball could a morbidly obese person be successful
This just shows the womens game has a long ways to go. No way a girl that big who cant contest should make a team.
Crooks wasn't playing a lick of defense and showed some pretty bad defensive awareness with the way she was playing help defense at times. Nice job bodying everyone offensively though.
A 40 piece- nice!
number 52 is college student? .. wild.. she is baller though. if she gets the ball at low post.. its OVER for opposing team
Great game. I wonder what’s her nickname on the team?
Big Mac ?
audi should have deployed the 'too small' celebration a few times.
She is efficient
That was the most unimpressive 40 points I've ever seen. Good job to her though. 😂😂
Someone said "If she keeps up maybe she'll lose......trigger.
The female Zion 💀💀
They’ll let anyone play basketball nowadays 😭
Are you in the NBA? Did you ball in college? HS even? Because if you ain't on no squad, anywhere, then apparently they don't let "anyone" ball these days. 2K don't count either. 😂😂😂
40 pts is wild when all you can do is move 2 feet and throw the ball at the rim… while also being a defensive liability.
Go off tho Shaquille O’Meal
I be tryin to count the number of empty seats I see
I’m mad they threw the ball off her back on the inbound😩
big girl in the post is automatic..I like it
The stat line isn’t impressive because she’s the reason it was a tough game. She literally can’t guard anybody
This is like watching a grown man play against toddlers. When you weigh 100 pounds more than everyone on the court of course you'll dominate the paint. This is terrible lol
Well yeah against a bad Maryland team. When they run into a good team they arent gonna let her stand there and make the same shot over and over she’ll get steamrolled. Bank on it
I came here to see if big yung'un was about that life... 4:54-5:01 yeah, she finna end lives
I just wanted to see her highlights like advertised, not the entire game. Stop the clickbait
Dumb Announcers IGNORED Crooks the entire First Half then in 3rd quarter realize she scored 18 points in first half.
55 for Iowa State should have an NIL with McDonald's and KFC !
ALL OFFENSE, NO DEFENSE
Big Crooks!
Imagine being second string to someone who cannot jump.
What are you talking about?!? She got enough air to clear a car. Granted it's only a Matchbox car, but still.
Wow its a full house.
She was eatin all game 😤
My boy said that the "i" was eaten 😔
#55 for Iowa State 😍😍🍑😋
