Brock Purdy is a women’s hoops fan, and on Sunday, he attended Iowa State and Stanford’s bucket-getting matchup to support his alma mater. The Cyclones ultimately fell to Stanford in overtime, but postgame, Purdy was there to offer encouragement and words of wisdom.
The stars have come out to see the 2024 women’s NCAA tournament. During the first week of March Madness, Cheryl Miller, Vanessa Bryant and her daughters, Caleb Williams and Russell Westbrook and his wife, Nina, all took in some terrific games. However, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy may have been treated to the best game of the tournament.
Purdy, and his wife, Jenna, were in attendance to see the Iowa State Cyclones women’s basketball team play Stanford in a March Madness classic. Though the Cyclones weren’t able to secure a win, head coach Bill Fennelly had Purdy speak with Audi Crooks, fellow freshman Jalynn Brooks and the team to share some of his wisdom after his own heartbreaking loss, Super Bowl 58.

According to Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register, Purdy shared these words with the team:
“He just told us, ‘You wear Iowa State, keep your heads up. We have people around us, and you can see it,’ Bristow said.”
