Doesn't matter who you play. If it's what they give you...take it. As for the rest of the team...Crooks only played 20 minutes. The bench again played more minutes than the starters. They are being built.

I'm sure @acoustimac will be along with his game write up but I'll throw down my 2 cents here. A school single game record for Audi Kudos to her. It's a good thing in the 1st qtr she was making shots because the rest of the team was icy cold. twos threes frees it didn't matter they couldn't hit any off them. 2nd qtr looked better. I thought Lily T had a strong offensive game tonight I thought our guards got playing better after the 1st qtr. We wone by 40+ I'm not going to dissect the game.
Things that do bother me. Our free throw shooting if we could shoot 80% as a team we'd be a lot better off. The women used to shoot good free throws but it's been lacking the last couple of yrs. 3 point shooting started cold but we shot our way out of it. For all the people b*tching about Audi she was taking what they were giving I would be hard pressed to say that she forced more than a couple of shots. When the defense puts a 5ft 4 inch guard on you, your team better feed you the ball.
Defense who knows it did what it needed to do for a W.
Also Lily T and Paulk can pass for sisters, those 2 young ladies look a lot alike.
I'm guessing everyone is tired of strolling down cupcake lane, coaches, players, fans are all ready to see some more challenging games. A Win is always better than a loss and to win by as much as we did after looking less than inspiring in the 1st qtr is hopefully a good sign.

You play to win the game. Passing the ball to Audi is the best way to do that.
Glad we got the win. Nice Audi set a record. Wow, that game was hard to watch. Time to move on to the next.
Beautiful women in bikinis could be handing out free sides of beef and someone on CF would complain.
The last six minutes of the first quarter with Crooks sitting, everyone else had their chance to shoot. We scored 2 points
Yeah…I was wondering why Crooks was on the bench…and now we know.
Gave me a flashback, apropos of nothing but a good memory for me:
Memory was 1995 versus UNLV where Davis ran for over 300 yards and a then school record. Was cheering for the third string guy to hit 100 yards.
From the game summary:
Troy Davis, who came into the game as the nation's leading rusher, ran for a then-school-record 302 yards on 36 carries for a school-record five touchdowns as Iowa State rolled to a 57-30 victory over UNLV. Davis scored on runs of 20, 8, 66, 80 and 5 yards as Iowa State bolted to a 34-0 lead. Davis left the game with 5:19 left in the third quarter. Backup tailback Graston Norris rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns after Davis' departure, including a 91-yard scoring scamper that was the second-longest run in school history. Jahi Arnold rushed for a career-high 90 yards on 11 carries.
I so wanted to have all three guys with over 100 for the game.
Audi giving up her meal made me think of Des Francis at the conference tournament.
I guess we learned that Audi was feeling sick at the beginning of the game and she sat for an extended period so she could purge her dinner and start feeling a little better.
EDIT: again, I guess I should have read the whole thread...
520 yards and seven touchdowns is a rough afternoon for the UNLV rush defense.
