Think I'm ok with it. She's showed she's durable the last 2 seasons, but extra games of wear and tear can't be good for March.
WBB: Audi Crooks Selected to Team USA for 2025 AmeriCup Games
- Thread starter JakeBrend
- Start date
This is good experience though…getting to actually play with some of the best players in the country. Probably easier on her than summer workouts.
She’s a total band geek. I saw a clip of her complimenting the ASU band when she was leaving the floor. Music is a passion for her.
Audi played around 8 minutes yesterday as USA closed out group play with a 104-48 win over Mexico. Audi had 4 points on 2-5 shooting (including 0-1 3pt). She also had 5 rebounds (1 off), 1 assist, and 1 steal, but also had 3 turnovers.

Fridays game is a scrimmage. Play Dominican Republic again who we have already beaten by 60 points. At some point we will get either Canada or Brazil and see better competition.
Sidebar comment: Hidalgo is sure shooting a poor percentage in this tournament. Woof. Her "rival", Miles is leading all eight teams in assists.

I love Audi.
But, she is a defensive liability. That would be my guess regarding her minutes
Yeah that's probably it. She's a beast on offense but needs more speed and hops on the defensive end.
Even on offense you have to have your system/scheme revolve around her. ISU is making that work but it's really not readily transportable to what amounts to a all-star team.
