Iowa State star is putting up absolutely insane numbers

Every once in a while, a college player puts up numbers that make you stop scrolling and read them twice. That’s what the Iowa State Cyclones dominant junior is doing right now.

The Women’s Hoops Network dropped her latest stat line, and it barely looks real.

Thirty points. Nineteen minutes. Thirteen makes on nineteen attempts. Four rebounds for good measure. And then she sat down.

That’s not normal. That’s video-game production.

 

Her season numbers look fake too

The craziest part is that this wasn’t even an outlier. This is just what she does.

She’s averaging 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2 assists while shooting an absurd 73.2 percent from the field. Yes, 73.

For context: most dominant bigs in the country are thrilled to clear 55 percent. She’s basically scoring at will every time she touches it.

And she’s doing all of this as a 6-foot-3 junior.

She was great last year, but this is different

She was already a force as a sophomore, averaging 23.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 35 games while playing about 29 minutes a night.

This season she’s playing fewer minutes and somehow scoring more.

That kind of leap rarely happens, especially this dramatically, and it shows just how efficient she’s become in Iowa State’s offense.

Iowa State is rolling right with her

A superstar season only matters if it translates to wins, and Iowa State is 10-0 heading into Wednesday’s showdown with in-state rival Iowa.

They aren’t just winning, they’re exploding offensively.

Iowa State has topped 100 points in back-to-back games, beating Indiana 106-95 and hammering Northern Illinois 105-52.

There are four undefeated teams left in the Big 12. Iowa State is one of them, and she’s the engine behind it.

What comes next

If she keeps scoring at this pace, we’re talking national player of the year conversations, record chases and one of the best individual seasons the program has ever seen.

Teams know exactly where the ball is going, and they still can’t stop it. That’s when you know someone is special.

Iowa State has a big one on Wednesday against the Iowa Hawkeyes, and if she keeps this up, defenses around the country are in for some long nights.
