We need to talk about Audi Crooks who just led Iowa State to a March Madness win over the Maryland with 40 points on 90% shooting. All that and more on today's video!
These big boned girls should find someone else to play with instead of bullying the petite ones . how are they ever going to win a scholarship against these woman mountains ?

@@user9b2 i am two dumb too rite any other way i hope this clears everything up fore you. i am retarded. i been tested. that is siencetific. smart people with big brains said sooo. but i don't understand what you are saying. and i don't want to pass up a chance to bee upset. thank you.
She's got really good seal-off post moves and she gets up and down the court way better than her size suggests. And key: every post player needs good hands and she has good hands.
What struck me is the smoothness of her shot every time. Wherever she gets the ball she just turns and lays it up and in as quickly as possible. No adjusting, no hesitation, just smooth and efficient.
I am so proud of Audi Crooks for saying that she prays and taps into her spiritual side and thinks about her father..... young people these days do not have the kind of heart this amazing young woman has and I wish her the very very best
My son needs to watch this and see that she did the basics well no flashy stuff just play to your skills. Team mates feed her well with the ball and she gets rebounds and puts them back. Hes not as tall as her he is 6'2" and 130kgs, people want him to play Rugby or League but he enjoys BBall. I will ask him to watch this later. Awesome i will keep an eye on her. Tu meke!
Wow! I hadn't seen her before! She has the skills! Thank you for your positive comments! I love the women's game so much more because of the passing and strategy. I wish her well!
She played amazing, but I'm shocked that Maryland stuck with the fronting defense. She torched them with easy bucket after easy bucket and no surprise she shot 90%.
I agree. Maryland played right into her hands. Nobody dropped down to double teamed Audi when she caught the ball in the post. They let her catch the ball under the basket and just lay it up. If you notice, Audi never had to dribble or put the ball on the floor the entire game. Audi did have a great game and took what Maryland gave her. Hats off to her. But Maryland’s defensive strategy was the reason they lost.
Good example for today's basketball fans that claim "you have to be able to shoot 3s, or you're no good". Common sense says, if you have size, and know how to use it, you can dominate, in the paint, where the game is won. Good for her. What a force!
The game is won by playing efficiently. I remember an Indiana player who shot 7/10 on threes in the NCAA final, which means that even a dunk from another player was a less efficient shot. Crooks was so hot that getting her the ball made sense, but her game was historic.
I've seen a fair number of softball players that size (maybe not as tall, but as wide) and every one of them is surprisingly agile and athletic. I wouldn't have assumed any differently in this case, but I hope that this isn't a life problem like it is with Pablo Sandoval -- in other words, where she is might be fine for now, but at some point it could wreck her knees and her quickness.
Hagrids daughter has a great career in basketball in her future! She is super nimble for her stature, it must be lots of hard work to haul all the mass around the court with such quick moves! I’m genuinely impressed and hope she makes it far in her future!
we see the same in Australia with Pacific Island kids in Rugby. Rules have changed but it was not unusual in say U10 having a 90kg player in a team playing against 40kg opposition.There are also instances where very young soccer players of exceptional ability are taken off the park because they score too many goals.
Even to those who say her shots were all within 5 ft of the basket. So what.! There are plenty of 3 pt shooters who only shoot from 2~3 spots. Congrats on the big day.
Nice story. If I were the ISU softball coach I'd be pondering the possibilities lol. I have multiple brackets going and money on some games and here I find myself watching more women's ball yesterday than men's.
It’s great to hear other men, in particular, use the same evaluative lens on women athletes as with men. I find it ridiculous that we discriminate against male players like Avila of the other ISU and women players like Crooks because they are not “from central casting.”
If she doesn't do something about that weight and take care of herself, she will destroy her knees, and her career won't last long. Hope she makes it she's definitely good.
She gets back on defense faster than 90% of the NBA!
My first thought was, ok let’s fast break as long as we can and see how long she hangs with us.
The NBA plays defense?
Well she isn't on CP time, that really helps.
And she plays with joy. So rare.
Could you imagine if she played with anger. She'd be HULK smashin everyone
WEll, it’s obvious. She Loves the game.
Me, too🥰It’s her joy. Bet her team loves her, too. Now I want to follow college woman’s basketball.🏀
unfortunately, it's almost guaranteed that a 6'8 185lb wannabe who can't cut it with the men will come along & spoil the entire league !
@@janetheard4357you and one person agree, well, there’s a start, the two only womens bball fans I’ve ever met
Bigger and stronger than everyone. Shes got that Shaq factor. That Shaqtor, if you will.
She's a quicker version of Courtney Paris
Shaquette?
I will not
Shaquille was in shape
Shaqtress
She played 34 minutes. She is truly an athlete.
NICE TO SEE REAL WOMEN AT WORK
These big boned girls should find someone else to play with instead of bullying the petite ones . how are they ever going to win a scholarship against these woman mountains ?
I was going to say that she have to correct number of chromosomes 👍👍👍

Never heard of her before, but I'm impressed. Helluva a player.
She's a freshman I think. You'll be hearing a lot more about her in the future.
She's got mad skilz developed through lots of hard work. She really has a soft touch around the basket and I am happy for her.
All talking about her size, bit those hands😮
I agree!!! Fun watching her play. And she has an infectious smile...
Thanks for posting this. I'm a converted fan as a result. Good for her.
She's got really good seal-off post moves and she gets up and down the court way better than her size suggests. And key: every post player needs good hands and she has good hands.
I was going to say the same thing. There are guys in the NBA that don’t even have that technique.
Yep! Gets up and down the court. Her offensive game is obvious, but the way she runs the court is amazing at her size.
If she's really a girl I say good for you,you use what you've got and do your best
@@kathywright6853 "If's she's really a girl" Damn, you're dumb.
Love that smile,,,winner all the way,,,go Audi,,,from a true fan in Arizona..
Size and weight doesn't mean anything if you don't have skills and this lady has got mad skills.
Shaquette

Good observation. She's got that butter smooth delivery.
Smooth moves. Makes it look effortless. Go, Audi. Big, strong and confident looks great on you!
her finishing around the basket is top notch. she must've practiced those low post shots like crazy to always finish like she does.
She’s a class act, and she can shoot. Congratulations to her and Iowa state
She can shoot? Banks shots from 5 feet...
@@Freshbagels888You're a troll. In this clip she drops a fade away jumper that was nothing but net. GTFO
A Freshman and she is only going to get better!
I agree. As long as she stays healthy and injury free she's going to be a beast on the boards by her senior year!
Awesome. She definitely has hooooops! I'll be watching for her and cheering her on!

And she plays beautifully! Such grace, an almost magnetic reach. Add the accuracy and calm... Wow. She could... almost... make me a BBall fan.
absolute unit
That's some impressive girth.
You are what you play

Because teams have tried NOT fronting her and she uses her girth and weight to back them down like old school Barkley.
what a badass player

YOU GO GIRL BLESS YOU AND KEEP SWISHING!!
Talented Big Girls ROCK!!! Congratulations on your skills and play...
Why not work on shedding some of that fat? It’s not healthy for her
Thanks for posting this and giving her the credit she deserves.
What a champ she is going to go far I would imagine.
Audi Crooks is my new favorite womens BB player. Go Iowa State.
I've seen a fair number of softball players that size (maybe not as tall, but as wide) and every one of them is surprisingly agile and athletic. I wouldn't have assumed any differently in this case, but I hope that this isn't a life problem like it is with Pablo Sandoval -- in other words, where she is might be fine for now, but at some point it could wreck her knees and her quickness.
Exactly. At some point she'll realize for the sake of her health and her career she'll have to lose some of that weight.
Loved watching her run the court after scoring. Props.
Awesome well done my sister love and respect from Scotland xx
NEW FAN!
Thank you for sharing❤❤❤
She’s a beast! I love her and how happy she is. I hope she has a great career ahead of her
One of the few players I’d watch. Hope she’s keeps going and crushes those points
this was the first time I saw college women's basketball play bullying ball. Good for Audi Crook
Beautiful flow on that lady…90!!f’n% on 40 Points…🙇🙇🙇🤙😎
Big gal got game. Great for her and will watch for more. You go girl
Nice! I appreciate her going for what she does best !
Shes a beast i think we're watching a future LEGEND
Good for her! Great talent!
I will start watching this now I have seen the skill of this lady, she is my hero now
Good for her. Make your differences into advantages. We are who we are.
I give her credit she uses her size to her advantage and she’s incredible at it. Good for her.
Good for HER! God bless!
Great player and definitely not the typical center.
Respect! Love her game
Love her determination and hustle, she’ll be fun to watch I’ve the next few years.
Very entertaining, hard worker.
Hagrids daughter has a great career in basketball in her future!
She is super nimble for her stature, it must be lots of hard work to haul all the mass around the court with such quick moves!
I’m genuinely impressed and hope she makes it far in her future!
Minus knees in the future?
you know those knees are screamin
Great hands!!! Good player
Such a soft touch and good footwork. Undoubtably would make an impact on pro level.
She's so big that the lightweight players that try to lowkey check her just bounce off. She can hold her ground and use it to shoot
Really a big body, runs well, hustles back on defense. All really impressive.
Excellent!
And we need to protect women’s sports so this young athlete can shine like she really should! You go girl!💪
Excellent video dealing with talent and skill and not prejudice other than to acknowledge it doesn't belong!
She's like number 44 of Iowa where she never EVER dribbles.

I'm a fan too. Good for her.
Is Lady Shaq here?! That would be an insane addition to the market. And she can free shoot? Let's go!
Wow! So impressive.
This girl can play, you can tell she is having a blast.
What’s his name?
Last name is not Griner!!!
And, she's beautiful!
She has a 2" vertical.
Nice story. If I were the ISU softball coach I'd be pondering the possibilities lol. I have multiple brackets going and money on some games and here I find myself watching more women's ball yesterday than men's.
Nice segment. Well done.
Some women are built differently and that’s ok! Exercise and eat healthy and you can succeed, too. Amazon Women RULE!!
You go girl !!!!👍🏀👍🏀 Awesome
It’s great to hear other men, in particular, use the same evaluative lens on women athletes as with men. I find it ridiculous that we discriminate against male players like Avila of the other ISU and women players like Crooks because they are not “from central casting.”
Wow, YOU GO GIRL !!! 👍👍👍🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Wow, the vertical on this moose is amazing! Psyche.
Just CooL!
Look at Alissa Pili at Utah, Polynesian gal out of Alaska who just bullies everyone in the post. She’s awesome
Good for her! Best of luck in the future.
Hay, if she can play, she can play. Good on her.
It's not a fashion show. Great players are fun to watch. I hope she'll make the pros.
U go Audi! Try to ignore the negative comments that have nothing to do with ur skill as a bb player. Ur fun to watch.
She‘s good a reading the game, has a good shot….and above all: seems to really enjoy the game 😊
That’s a big girl! You gonna eatch yo cornbread? :)
yes... I was a tutor at OU way back with the Paris sisters... these women are beautifully athletic...
I am becoming very interested in women's college basketball. Good stuff!
She is edible. What a Great player with great skills 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I saw another video of her being interviewed - she's the sweetest girl - and super talented at things other than basketball.
like hot dog eating contests?
I’m a *massive* fan too.
Yo I love a big with the skills to seal the defender and finish! I miss dominant bigs. Thank you young lady!
Less Shak, more Sir Charles game. No insult. Legit memories of Barkley at Auburn 1984. Girl can ball out.
Agreed. And Charles took his game to another level when he lost weight. I hope this young lady can do the same.
100%
I couldn’t make 18-20 of baskets in practice, but to do it in game is incredible
Wow! Amazing young lady!
I love it! Maybe she will play for the Big 3!
Yes! Good for her.
Kinda like adding a little roller derby to the game.
If she doesn't do something about that weight and take care of herself, she will destroy her knees, and her career won't last long. Hope she makes it she's definitely good.
