"Earlier this season against Valparaiso, Crooks set the Cyclones' single-game scoring record with 43 points in just under 20 minutes. The low playing time was because of a stomach bug she was dealing with that night, but as she's wont to do, she kept it moving. "The night didn't start so well for me," she explained afterward. "I came out in the first quarter and had to ditch my pre-game meal." When she checked back into the game, she made up for lost time."
"There's no wasted movement with Crooks either. Her soft touch around the rim has set her apart from other college bigs since she was a freshman. Watch the slick turnaround fadeaway at 0:29 in the video here and tell me it isn't the rudest, coolest shot ever. Skill like that, combined with her strength, can be deadly. She puts opposing post players in impossible positions, the kind that wreck a team's game plans and rotations,"
Audi Crooks leads the nation in scoring about eleven games into the season, averaging nearly 28 points while playing under 26 minutes per game. Crooks set Iowa State single-game records, scoring 43 points in limited minutes while battling a stomach bug and later erupting for 47 points on 19-of-25 shooting. Crooks draws frequent fouls, reaching the free-throw line roughly eight times per game with a 68.9 percent rate. Crooks combines soft touch, strength, and refined footwork, creating difficult defensive matchups and disrupting opponents' game plans and rotations, while continuing to improve technical polish.
