WNBA star Jonquel Jones' says 'being unapologetic' helps break barriers
Basketball superstar and WNBA champion Jonquel Jones is one of USA TODAY's 2025 Women of the Year.
Following a two-game losing skid, Iowa State men's basketball has seemed to find its groove again.
On Saturday, the No. 10 Cyclones defeated No. 21 Arizona soundly, 84-67. Iowa State (22-7, 12-6 Big 12) will look to build on an already impressive resume with a key matchup against No. 22 BYU (21-8, 12-6), which has been on an impressive run with six straight wins.
Both teams enter play Tuesday tied for fourth place in the conference standings, trailing Texas Tech and Arizona by a game for second place. The top four teams earn a double bye in the conference tournament next week, which adds larger implications for this game.

Liberty's Jonquel Jones to make official return vs. Fever
The post Liberty's Jonquel Jones to make official return vs. Fever appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Liberty will attempt to replicate the result they got the last time against the Indiana Fever when they take on them at the Barclays Center on Tuesday. The Fever's three-game winning streak was snapped by New York in the absence of Caitlin Clark on July 16, with Breanna Stewart recording a massive 24 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists. This time around, they will also have Jonquel Jones to call upon as well, per ESPN. Jones is set to return to WNBA action after a lingering right ankle problem which has seen her being limited to just nine games this campaign. This will mark the first game for the 31-year-old forward since June 19. The Liberty have gone just 7-5 in Jones' absence after starting the season 9-0. They have missed the veteran's presence on both ends of the court, who has averaged 12.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting an impressive 43.8% from beyond the arc. Jones had previously picked up the injury in early June before reaggravating it against the Phoenix Mercury. With Brianna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Natasha Cloud all fit and firing as well, Jonquel's return may mean that the Fever have their work cut out. Their troubles will be compounded considering Caitlin Clark's continued absence. The two-time All-Star is confirmed to miss her 12th game of the season. She has averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and five rebounds per game, and was a huge miss during the teams' recent matchup, which the Liberty won 98-77. In that game, Breanna Stewart powered the Liberty with 24 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, and four blocks. Kelsey Mitchell led Indiana with 16 points, but without Clark orchestrating the offense, the Fever struggled to keep pace. Clark, who was selected as an All-Star captain alongside Napheesa Collier, did not participate on the weekend but is understood to be close to a return.

Liberty coach Sandy Brondello explains the ‘gravitational pull' of Jonquel Jones
The post Liberty coach Sandy Brondello explains the 'gravitational pull' of Jonquel Jones appeared first on ClutchPoints. Jonquel Jones might not be the best player in the WNBA by pure statistics, but by watching the New York Liberty this season, it's hard to think of many who are more important to their team. Just past the halfway point in the season, New York is 17-6, but 10-1 when Jones is in the lineup. The reigning WNBA Finals MVP missed over a month of action with a knee injury, and the Liberty's one loss with her came in the game she was injured and played only nine minutes. In her two games since returning, she has averaged 19 points and 10 rebounds with the Liberty winning both games by double digits over teams they previously lost to. 'Obviously she's big and strong, but she's so versatile,' head coach Sandy Brondello said before Jones made her return against the Indiana Fever last week. 'You have to scout her now inside. Outside, it opens up the floor, but then bringing two to her and the post up, and she's a great passer as well too. It's just the gravitational pull that she brings in.' Brondello has brought up the term 'gravitational pull' several times, and it's part of what makes the Liberty so deadly when they're healthy. Opponents already have plenty to plan for with Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart on the court, not to mention Leonie Fiebich and Kennedy Burke, two of the best shooters in the league. Adding Jones to the equation further stretches the defense and makes it necessary to guard virtually every square inch of the half-court — and that's assuming Jones is stationed in the post and not creating mismatches with her ability to step out to the perimeter. The Liberty have their guard-post combo back Jones had her customary double-double in the Liberty's 89-76 win over the Phoenix Mercury on Friday, but it was Ionescu who stole the show with 29 points and eight assists. With Jones, Ionescu and Stewart now in their third year as teammates, it's easy to see the chemistry between them. In the fourth quarter on Friday, it came through a pair of assists from Ionescu to Jones. And if you ask Ionescu, Jones should get credit for assists via the screens she sets for her point guard. 'That's probably one of the most important relationships that you have as a point guard is with your post player, and from the moment that she got here we've been working on that synergy and chemistry on the court of finding ways to help one another,' Ionescu said. 'Obviously it doesn't go unnoticed all the assists JJ could be having for me with the screens that she sets and her passing ability that we all know.' Going forward, expect to see Ionescu finding Jones more off the pick-and-roll. 'She sets those great screens and so we're continuing to just find ways to continue to grow together in our relationship,' Ionescu said. 'Being able to read off one another and knowing what she needs at what time and obviously as a point guard that's my job. I hold myself to a really high standard to make sure that I can play a little part in her success.' Jones' return comes at a good time for the Liberty. They finish off a back-to-back on Saturday at home against the Los Angeles Sparks before hitting the road for four games and playing every other day for the next 10.
