Iowa State enters the 2026 Big 12 Tournament as the seven seed, earning a first-round bye. The Cyclones are set to matchup with Arizona State in the second round for the second-straight season.
FOUR THINGS
3 – Iowa State is the only Big 12 program to have three different players named the league's Player of the Week this season (Addy Brown, Audi Crooks, Jada Williams).
4 – Iowa State junior Addy Brown recorded the fourth triple-double in program history against Norfolk State (Nov. 16), tallying 11 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. It marks the first time in over a decade that a Cyclone achieved the feat.
12 – The Cyclones have the 12th-best scoring average in NCAA Division I women's basketball, averaging 82.8 points per game through 30 contests.
96 – Audi Crooks has scored in double figures in 96 straight games. It marks the longest streak by a Cyclone women's basketball player and longest active streak in NCAA women's basketball. Crooks also holds the longest streak by a Big 12 women's basketball player since Brittney Griner's 116-game run from 2010-2013.
SERIES NOTES
Thursday marks the second season in a row that Iowa State and Arizona State will meet in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament. Last season, ISU picked up the 96-88 win over ASU behind 41 points from Addy Brown. In each of the three matchups between the Cyclones and the Sun Devils since ASU joined the Big 12 in 2024-25, ISU has scored at least 90 points.
LAST TIME OUT
Iowa State finished the regular season with a 93-79 win at Kansas State on Sunday afternoon. Audi Crooks recorded her fourth 40-point performance of the season with 41 points on 16-of-19 shooting and making all nine of her attempts at the line. Jada Williams added 23 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the floor and 7-of-7 from the free throw line while passing out nine assists. Iowa State out-rebounded Kansas State, 48-24 and finished 23-of-24 at the free throw line.
2,000 POINT QUEEN
Iowa State junior Audi Crooks became the program's 35th 1,000 point scorer last season with her 23rd point against Utah (Jan. 5) and joined three other Cyclones in the 2,000 point club on Jan. 28. Crooks is the fastest Big 12 women's basketball player to score 2,000 points, reaching the milestone in 89 games. She was five games faster than the next-fastest Big 12 player, Courtney Paris (Oklahoma, 94 games), to reach the mark.
Crooks was the fastest Cyclone to score 1,000 points, reaching the mark in 49 games. She passed all-time leading scorer Ashley Joens as the fastest ISU player to 1,000 points, the previous best in 64 games. Crooks was also the third fastest Big 12 women's basketball player to reach 1,000 points behind Courtney Paris (Oklahoma, 46) and Sheila Lambert (Baylor, 48). She scored her 1,500th career point against Southern (Nov. 5) in her 70th collegiate game.
Her 2,198 points trail only all-time ISU leading scorer Ashley Joens after passing Angie Welle and Bridget Carleton during the Feb. 25 contest with Oklahoma State. Crooks owns the fourth best career scoring average (22.5 ppg) among active DI women's basketball players and ranks sixth overall in the NCAA.
