No. 22 Baylor women's "junk" defense leads to 72-70 win Sunday at No. 10 Iowa State

AMES — Audi Crooks ruffled the stat sheet and shook her head.

It’s a rare numbers-based reaction for Iowa State’s standout center, who entered Sunday’s top-25 matchup with Baylor leading the nation in scoring and ranked second in field goal percentage.

But Crooks shot just 2-for-9 from the field in the second half and the No. 10 Cyclones fell to the No. 22 Bears, 72-70, before a crowd of 10,832 at Hilton Coliseum.

Hence her dismay — and deepened resolve to grow from ISU’s first loss of the season.
