With another 40-ball, Iowa State's Audi Crooks leads women's college basketball's season of giving buckets
For the third time this season, Audi Crooks scored more than 40 points. And for the 13th time this season, No. 10 Iowa State earned a win.
However, while a huge scoring night from the junior center is becoming routine, the Cyclones’ win came with a bit more drama than usual.
Iowa State stretched their lead over visiting Kansas to as many as 11 points in the fourth quarter, looking poised to rather comfortably maintain their perfect record. But, a mid-fourth quarter run from the Jayhawks turned the contest into a down-to-the-wire affair. A 3-pointer from junior wing S’Mya Nichols with just over three minutes remaining pulled Kansas within one point, Nichols then hit another triple, converted a pair of free throws and drained midranger to tie the game with just five seconds left.
That was enough time for redshirt junior Kenzie Hare to rescue Iowa State. Junior forward Addy Brown delivered to the ball to Hare, who did not hesitate as she fired the buzzer-beating corner 3, giving the Cyclones the 79-76 win.
