Iowa State basketball player Audi Crooks, coming off her freshman season, arrived at the Target Center wearing a Dallas Wings jersey to support Stephanie Soares (her former teammate). Despite this, she also has a strong love for the Minnesota Lynx. Crooks was named a unanimous first-team all-Big 12 selection by the league’s coaches, making her the first freshman in program history to receive this honor. Personally, I would love to see Crooks in a Lynx jersey! 👀

As a team, the Lynx were nearly flawless from the free-throw line, shooting an impressive 95.8% by converting 23 out of 24 attempts. This achievement marks only the eighth time in franchise history that the Lynx have achieved a 95% or higher success rate while making 20 or more free throws in a game.
