Iowa State’s incredible 12-0 start just hit a nerve: star center Audi Crooks, the nation’s leading scorer, is still sidelined after a head injury. Coach Fennelly says she’s eager to play, but the team’s taking no chances, monitoring her recovery day by day. Even without Crooks, the Cyclones powered past Northern Iowa, showing real depth with Alisa Williams and Addy Brown stepping up. With Big 12 play around the corner, everyone’s wondering—how will the team handle the pressure if Crooks can’t return soon? Would you risk a star player’s health for a perfect season? #Sports #IowaState #AudiCrooks
