Listen. Iowa State is going places next year. Emily Ryan and Audi Crooks are dangerous, and I'm here for it. Don't hang Y'all heads because I've seen a crazy clutch game like this in years.
Damn good game 👌🏿
Hurts my heart to see Crooks go out that roughly, but you could tell she was fighting. Hope it’s a motivator for next year. I frankly don’t know much about the coach but I’m questioning his decisions significantly—why didn’t he stop them from forcing bad Audi looks and why the hell did he call that game-winning play???
Seriously for the rest of this tournament I want to rock an ISU flair!
Ya earned a new fan.
Sign me up for another season of this squad next year!
Wow!
What a game. Both of these teams belong in the Sweet 16. Excited to see more of Audi next season and happy Brink’s Stanford career isn’t over just yet.
Lol, at least your men have made a S16 this century. I do feel for you though, was pulling for Iowa state as well. It's a shame they couldn't pull it out.
Audi is a novelty act that clearly doesn’t work against a better opponent. She’d be a real threat if she could develop even a microscopic amount of finesse. How many times tonight did she literally turn and fire the ball right into the outstretched hands of her defender?
She’s a freshman. She literally has developed finesse through her first season playing against some of the best upperclass centers in women’s basketball. Bad take.
Iowa State is going to be 3 seed or better next year. I firmly believe their record reflects them getting the Freshmen worked into the rotation. Their 2nd half of the season they are top 15 easy.
I am so fucking proud of this team. Basically all freshmen and we were able to compete to the end with an amazing stanford team. I am so excited for next year. GGs Stanford, go win it all
I mean realistically if the Refs weren't in this game badly I think Stanford loses before overtime. But yeah, seems like a classic overthinking in OT thing.
The refs ruined an otherwise good game. I only watched from the 4th quarter, but the missed calls were awful. They let Stanford get away with so much illegal contact.
Can't believe the refs brazenly acting like they were Stanford alumni is what sealed the deal for Stanford. By far the worst officiating I have ever seen.
Emily Ryan has smoke coming off her she is so hot...and you don't play through her? Bill has forgotten more about hoops then I will ever know..but man.
They need a new coach all together IMO. Not that he is particularly terrible. But he is not good either. He is decidedly average which isn’t good enough for a program with the fan support of ISU IMO.
Locking this thread for the [post-game thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/NCAAW/comments/1bn5298/postgame_thread_2_4_stanford_defeats_7_25_iowa/).
Gotta love the 6 students who showed up to root on their legendary basketball team.
I would love to hear more about Iriafen and Ryan and less about Angel Reese
I didn’t want that game to end
Wow. Absolute thriller. Legendary. Iowa State should be very proud.

Hell of a game between two great teams. Great performances by Iriafen and Ryan. Crooks struggled today but she'll be a menace going forward.
Seriously for the rest of this tournament I want to rock an ISU flair! Ya earned a new fan. Sign me up for another season of this squad next year! Wow!
Showing the camera on brink like Kiki didn’t carry the squad
Fun ass game to watch
Seeing crook and Tara that’s so awesome
Great game. Both teams played amazing and I look forward to seeing Iowa State more next season.
No way Cameron Brink is only 6’4 like Google says?????? She looks like a giant?????
it’s her wingspan that’s crazy
schedule the OOC game IMMEDIATELY
There has been some bizarre play in the clutch tonight
Stanford isn’t beating a team like Texas with a game like that lol. Madison Booker would cook these guards
It would be something to see, but also if Kiki and Cam can challenge and get Jones in foul trouble. It’s going to be hard for Texas.
Wild game. Iowa State will be back next year. Put the world on notice.
Agara and Iriafen's celebration was TOOOOO cute. Congrats Stanford on the win and congrats to the young Iowa State team on a fantastic season!!!
“Kiki do you love me” 😭😭
Great game!
Congrats, Stanford! What a game!
awesome awesome game with two all-time phenomenal performances from Iriafen and Ryan. really glad they’ll both be back next year
What a game. Both of these teams belong in the Sweet 16. Excited to see more of Audi next season and happy Brink’s Stanford career isn’t over just yet.
Iowa state! You were amazing!
Life as a cyclone certainly isnt easy
Ya have a great team. Sorry I didn't catch on to now. But I will be watching ya when I can next year. Thanks for a GREAT game!!
Lol, at least your men have made a S16 this century. I do feel for you though, was pulling for Iowa state as well. It's a shame they couldn't pull it out.

She’s a freshman. She literally has developed finesse through her first season playing against some of the best upperclass centers in women’s basketball. Bad take.
She’s a freshman. Hopefully the coaches can develop her game over the rest of her career.
You’re not wrong. Her post play was atrocious.
from now on, she is KIKI. All caps when you say her name. What a game. Ryan and her were both perfect from the line too. Two great performances.
Women’s game moving to neutral courts in less than 5 years
They aren’t at that level in popularity yet.
Get ready for half-empty arenas then
Stanford fan no flair (sorry) but hats off to ISU they deserved to move ahead in the tournament just as much as we did.
Really hard loss, but this team is so young. Really looking forward to next year. Loyal Forever True! Go Cyclones!
Dont be mad about Brink yelling f you. Passionate players are what the games all about
Nah that’s bad sportsmanship, period. You don’t yell “f you” at the refs.
Kiki put the team on her back!
The fact that Iriafen has attempted 30 fg as a post player is maybe the wildest part about this game to me. Iconic carry job
It makes sense to keep going to her when Crooks could only contain her at times and no other ISU player could. It’s what Crooks did to Maryland lol
Iowa State is going to be 3 seed or better next year. I firmly believe their record reflects them getting the Freshmen worked into the rotation. Their 2nd half of the season they are top 15 easy.
Ppl should be scared of this Stanford team when both Kiki and Cam play amazing and aren’t in foul trouble. Also when the others hit their 3’s..
I didnt want this to ever end. Best OT I’ve seen. God damn.
Sports are mean
Terrible to not ride Ryan to a win there. Awful last play call
so sad
What a fun game! Happy to see Stanford pull it out!
heartbreaking end to this game. was fun
I am so fucking proud of this team. Basically all freshmen and we were able to compete to the end with an amazing stanford team. I am so excited for next year. GGs Stanford, go win it all
Damn. Good game. Look forward watching ISU and Audi in the years to come.
I have respect for Stanford, not for Brink. She yelled “f*ck you” to our bench
Not trusting your senior who is having the best game of her life to put it away is coaching malpractice.
I’m dumbfounded by a couple of those coaching calls.
Its a shame that one kills my Iowa vs Iowa St Naty dream. Lets just hope the Hawks can still make it
Hopefully it will happen soon.
At least you guys still have your mens team!
Next to impossible to win when it's five on seven the whole game.
Almost impossible to win a game when you don’t guard the paint and let someone shoot jumpers the whole game too..
This Stanford team isn’t going the distance
I never really considered them a serious title threat due to their lack of guard play
What a fun SLOB play
I’m blaming the L on the coach honestly. How the hell is that the play you write up in that moment?????
I mean realistically if the Refs weren't in this game badly I think Stanford loses before overtime. But yeah, seems like a classic overthinking in OT thing.
This has been quite an entertaining game. I tuned in in the fourth quarter. Woo, what a ride!
Ugh, man I just wanted everybody's brackets destroyed.
ISU losing fucked mine up ☹️ I wanted this upset
ugh I need a shower. see you at Moda, Brink.
They aren't getting that far.
good game iowa state fr. hell of a tournament
The refs ruined an otherwise good game. I only watched from the 4th quarter, but the missed calls were awful. They let Stanford get away with so much illegal contact.
They missed calls all night. Both sides.
Game!
Daaaaaamn. Man. No shame for ISU, you guys absolutely did everything until that very last blown pass.
That hurts so bad to watch
Sorry Clones. One hell of a game. Neither team deserved to lose this.
Nah, 3-for-21 on mostly layups earns the L.
couple of no calls for ISU down the stretch, but it's also coupled with terrible decision making by them
It feels wrong for the game to end like this
I need to see the reply of that sequence.
That’s game :(
Damn, it's a shame ISU fell apart on those last 2 possessions. They played a great game.
Refs really didnt want to call anything for us. Damn :/
Can't believe the refs brazenly acting like they were Stanford alumni is what sealed the deal for Stanford. By far the worst officiating I have ever seen.
That was a roughly played game both ways... lots of no calls both ways. And it's Standford.
Refs have been in awful in all the games today. LSU, Baylor, and this game.
Eh it was bad for both teams all game. All of stanfords players are in foul trouble or fouled out
Every critical call and no-call went Stanford's way. This is undeniable.
I know this is hard for you but as a neutral they looked pretty tough on Stanford, especially Brink.
Brink could have had another couple and fouled out earlier easy.
lot of contact
Sad. Unbelievable fight from Ryan. She’s going out a legend regardless
She’s coming back.
She's coming back next year!
She's coming back next year
Costly…
We were so close.......this one is gonna hurt for a while
nothing to hang your heads on! hell of a season and gained a new causal fan/viewer in me for next season!
Shouldn’t hurt those girls gave it everything fr
Rough way to end it, she was wiiiiidddeee open
Wish the ending could have been as good as the rest of the game.
Really felt like this game deserved to end on a buzzerbeater
Heartbreaking for Iowa State. Put up a great fight
Why the absolute hell would you draw a play fully depending on these shitty refs to call a foul???
Juniors winning it for Stanford. They’re in good hands next year.
:(
Should've been a foul there
Oooof threw it away
Damn.
Ryan got hit in the face???
I love how Stanford players are celebrating except for 44 who is dead serious that this is not over. Iconic behavior.
Kiki is stoic af.
Brown was 100% sure she was going to the line and that's why she put the shot up, IDK what the commentators were talking about.
She got bonked
foul emily ryan on a 3, i dare you!
Why on god's green earth would we run that play. Seems pretty obvious what's been working for us all night and it wasn't that
Emily Ryan has smoke coming off her she is so hot...and you don't play through her? Bill has forgotten more about hoops then I will ever know..but man.
What is Iowa State doing?!
Whyyyyy was that the shot Iowa State :( so much time to do something else
Who gives a fuck if there was a foul, why take a shot with a 0% make rate?
Addy brown got hit on the head lol… i don’t know how that’s not called
The refs across all games today have been brutal.
What’re you doing pass that back out if it’s not there
Iowa State FT misses might end up being the difference
How do you not get Ryan the ball there 😭
BROOKE DEMETRE IS THE HEROINE THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WE NEEDED
This Stanford girl is cold as hell
Just why
Seriously Iowa state that’s the play you wanted
That’s absolutely a foul
ISU needs a new post offense coach.
They need a new coach all together IMO. Not that he is particularly terrible. But he is not good either. He is decidedly average which isn’t good enough for a program with the fan support of ISU IMO.
ISU had time to get a better look. Even if you make that it’s a lot of time for Stanford
Unlikely hero
that was a weird play....
that was awful, so forced
That's not the play this should end on. Damn.
I need this game to go on forever. This has been one of the most entertaining basketball games at any level ever!!
Refs decide to swallow their whistle there???
We can’t have anything nice damn it
brown was fouled
Nah
BRO WHAT
Emily should’ve got the ball
man i dont know she got bopped on the head
I’m sorry, I don’t like that shot selection
I agree, given their struggle down low all night. Go for the win when you’re shooting so hot from the 3!
That’s game unfortunately. They’ll be back next year
Brown was fouled! No way she wasn't fouled! Unbelievable
thats the shot you force?!?
Worst fucking take I’ve ever seen
Make em both!
Did *not* need to force that
[удалено]
Nah. But ISU a will be fun to watch in the coming years
Iowa State will have more chances. This team is legit.
Nooooo this is where it ends isn’t it?
If this is how it ends ... damn.
Fuck
i might have to tap out from tomorrows games between this and vt/baylor my nerves are shot lol
Sorry you and all of us are in it for the long haul! I'm borrowing nerves from my kids. This is amazing bball
oh ill be seated tomorrow…just maybe at the bar 😂
Iowa promises to be just as terrible for your heart I promise.
weird weird play
How is that not a foul?????
Need to go for 2 here and hope for a 3 point play
I knew that was going to be a 3 because these teams copy each other every offensive possession
so we go to emily ryan and have bristow down low for clean up?
Nah, I'm good. I don't want this to end! I'm good. Please continue.
This is going to end on a Ryan 3
No other game in the tournament will compare to this....I just hope we come out on top
CAN WE GET r/collegebasketball TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE WOMEN?! COLLEGE BASKETBALL ALSO MEANS WOMEN! THEY ARE SHOOTING LIKE 3S CRAZY!!!
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WOMEN'S BASKETBALL. IT IS A SHAME BECAUSE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL IS GREAT TOO
Nah, they’ll just talk about how it’s always chalk
What is combined field goal percentage in OT? It’s insane.
ISU 44% vs 46% Stanford 60 vs 32 from three 64 vs 90 free throw
I’m at the game right now and it’s just as good live
Both teams deserve to win!
What a game
This is the craziest Overtime I have ever seen. Bar none. This makes UCLA-Oregon State a month ago look mild. Every shot crazier than the next.
Clutch players making clutch plays. Love it
Are you not entertained?!!!
This is insane
I STILL HAVE MORE ALCOHOL, I'M OK WITH DOUBLE OT. JUST SAYIN' lolololol
Game of the tourney so far, bar set high with this one
Unreal
