Congratulations Audi!

If it gets her to commit on defense it’s a good thing. Honestly if she has pro aspirations it’s going to need to happen.

I really enjoyed watching Tyrese play on these teams when he did and it also showed me a glimpse of future NBA/NCAA stars before they were widely on TV. I remember Jamal Murray looking dynamite for Canada against Tyrese/USA.

Not Iowa State related but Miles and Hidalgo on the same team could get interesting

From the trials. Maybe it's just the photo but Brown looks a tad leaner to me.

Amazing that Audi was able to make the team in those shoes...

You beat me to the comment. Good one.

Or the ice packs. Seems playing in those would be awkward.

Yeah, diving on a loose ball would be like playing basketball on a gravel driveway...

That's why you go with crushed and not cubed ice!

Or the poor man's ice pack, frozen peas!

Maybe it’s the uniform and the picture angle, but Audi looks a little trimmer as well.

Looking forward to Audi playing on a team where she won't be double-teamed as much. Hope she excels.

Agreed. I just hope she uses it as an opportunity to improve her defense. She has struggled against bigs who can go out and be effective 15 feet and out. At this level she will certainly see some of those.

She is a hard worker so she will likely benefit from seeing another coaching perspective to help her grow her game.

This is a great way for her to get that benefit without leaving ISU.
