Brock Purdy offered encouragement to Audi Crooks and Iowa State after heartbreaking OT loss to Stanford

This was an extremely kind gesture by Brock Purdy.

Brock Purdy is a women’s hoops fan, and on Sunday, he attended Iowa State and Stanford’s bucket-getting matchup to support his alma mater. The Cyclones ultimately fell to Stanford in overtime, but postgame, Purdy was there to offer encouragement and words of wisdom.

The stars have come out to see the 2024 women’s NCAA tournament. During the first week of March Madness, Cheryl Miller, Vanessa Bryant and her daughters, Caleb Williams and Russell Westbrook and his wife, Nina, all took in some terrific games. However, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy may have been treated to the best game of the tournament.

Purdy, and his wife, Jenna, were in attendance to see the Iowa State Cyclones women’s basketball team play Stanford in a March Madness classic. Though the Cyclones weren’t able to secure a win, head coach Bill Fennelly had Purdy speak with Audi Crooks, fellow freshman Jalynn Brooks and the team to share some of his wisdom after his own heartbreaking loss, Super Bowl 58.

According to Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register, Purdy shared these words with the team:

“He just told us, ‘You wear Iowa State, keep your heads up. We have people around us, and you can see it,’ Bristow said.”

Iowa State’s Audi Crooks shared a heartwarming message about her late father inspiring her breakout game

Iowa State’s Audi Crooks had a wonderful answer for what was on her mind during her March Madness breakout performance.

Iowa State center Audi Crooks has been one of the breakout stars of either NCAA tournament this March, as she made history on Friday night in her team’s opening-round win over Maryland.

While speaking with reporters after her statement performance, Crooks was asked about what she was thinking about while excelling on the court during Friday’s game. Her answer dealt with her late father, as she expressed why his memory fuels her on the court and in life.

Crooks was moved to tears while talking about she feels her late dad is still with her to this day, which is an incredibly powerful sentiment for the young hoops standout.

Crooks’ heartwarming message about her late father makes you remember how often so many of these young athletes are inspired by difficult moments and painful losses during such impressive performances.

Her character showed brightly in the way she honored her dad after such a major moment in her sports career.

Texas guard Tyrese Hunter jumps from near the free throw line in dunk

Tyrese Hunter caught serious air in this dunk.

Tyrese Hunter caught flight on Saturday. The Texas Longhorns guard took off for one of the more impressive highlight dunks for the 2024 basketball season.

Hunter might not have been known for his dunk hang-time, but perhaps he will moving forward. After getting a steal to change possession, the Texas guard beelined toward the basket ahead of the West Virginia transition defense. After getting just inside the free throw line, Hunter took flight for a long jump to the basket before slamming it home.

The veteran player has had his ups and downs at Texas, but continues to show up and give a quality effort. His last game saw Hunter go 0-for-8 against the Iowa State program from which he transferred to Texas. The dunk had to provide some level of outlet for his frustration.

The Longhorns have plenty of work to do as the season nears the finish line, but plays like this particular highlight indicate the talent is present. The team will look to close toward an NCAA Tournament bid with a strong finish to the season.

After 19-point first half, Texas falls to No. 14 Iowa State, 70-65

A 19-point half won’t cut it against top Big 12 teams.

The Texas basketball program scored 19 points in the first half of Tuesday night’s game. The slow start was too much to overcome for the team.

The Longhorns backcourt no showed despite a strong game from Texas forward Dylan Disu. The veteran player put up 28 points on 10-for-19 from the field and 3-for-6 from three-point range.

Outside of Disu, the Longhorns offense put up a poor showing. Texas guard Max Abmas had the next highest point total with 13 despite a poor 3-for-11 shooting night from the field. Abmas went 0-for-5 on three-point attempts. Texas forward Dillon Mitchell had a solid night with 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting.

Longhorns guard Tyrese Hunter had a rough game shooting 0-for-8 against his former team. Understandably, Hunter might have pressed to make an impact against the program he transferred away from, but the inefficiency proved costly.

There’s still plenty of basketball left to play. The Longhorns are somehow a better team on the road so far in Big 12 play. Nevertheless, you can’t help but think the team left an opportunity to move off the tournament bubble slip away.

Head coach Rodney Terry will need to address flat starts in games and find away to get more opportunities to the more efficient scorers in Disu and Mitchell. And he’ll need his guards to start taking and making better shots.

The Longhorns (15-8) reasonably only have three losses to spare to make the NCAA Tournament. They face the West Virginia Mountaineers (8-14) at 2 p.m. CT on Saturday on the Longhorn Network.

Texas hoops prepares for pivotal Tuesday matchup vs. No. 14 Iowa State

Texas can earn a huge win in front of a home crowd Tuesday night.

A heated battle is set to ensue on the basketball court. The Texas Longhorns (15-7) face the No. 14 Iowa State Cyclones (16-5) on Tuesday night. Continue reading “Texas hoops prepares for pivotal Tuesday matchup vs. No. 14 Iowa State”

Texas can take pressure off itself with win vs. No. 12 Iowa State

Tuesday’s home matchup against Iowa State is crucial to the Longhorns’ postseason chances.

We are nearing the final stretch of the college basketball season. With the Texas Longhorns (15-7) firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble every game matters.

Tuesday night’s home matchup against the No. 12 Iowa State Cyclones is of added importance. With a remaining schedule that sees Texas facing six ranked opponents, the team will want to get ranked wins out of the way.

The Longhorns face the Cyclones in Austin. It is one of two remaining home games against ranked opponents with the other against No. 23 Oklahoma. The other four ranked matchups involve road trips to face No. 4, Houston, No. 8 Kansas, No. 15 Texas Tech and No. 18 Baylor. Texas would be fortunate to win one of those four road battles.

For a realistic shot at the NCAA Tournament, the Longhorns need to win five of their final nine games to finish at 9-9 in Big 12 play. An 8-10 conference record could potentially get the team into the Big Dance, but probably in a play-in game.

The game against Iowa State could determine Texas’ NCAA Tournament fate. Tuesday will reveal whether or not the team brings the urgency it brought against TCU.
