ISU Women's up by 20 at halftime over Southern. Jada Williams has been impressive with her ball handling, defense and scoring. Passes to Audi down low should improve with time. Brown very active with assists and rebounds. Audi has been hit in the face/nose at least twice in the first half #bluecy

I loved snow days as a kid. Now that we can work remotely, it's hard to take pause. Enjoying the beauty of the day. #womeninstem

So far, Kansas is playing Audi straight up. She's had 3 different defenders. None of them can stop her. Cyclones up 19-13 at the end of the 1st quarter. #bluecy
