Iowa Hawkeyes team news
Of course, led by superstar Caitlin Clark, the Hawkeyes have the potential to win the Big Ten Tournament after missing out on the regular season conference championship. Still, the team is riding high after a 93-83 win over the regular season Big Ten champs, Ohio State, to close the regular season. In that game, Clark became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division-1 basketball history.
Along with Clark's record-breaking performance, her teammates, like they have all season, played an important role in the triumph, notably the combination of Gabbie Marshall and Hannah Stuelke. With a good supporting cast, the Hawkeyes and Clark should make a deep run in the Big Ten Tournament before focusing on the NCAA Tournament championship.
Iowa predicted five: Stuelke (F), Clark (G), Martin (G), Marshall (G), Davis (G)
Penn State Lady Lions team news
Four Penn State players scored in double-digits Thursday, with Kylie Lavelle leading with 14 points on 6-for-7 shooting. Ashley Owusu added 13 points and six rebounds, as the Lady Lions shot 49.2 percent of their attempts. Penn State mixed their scoring, picking up 37 points from the bench, and dominated the paint, where they bagged 44.
Penn State predicted five: Brigham (C), Marisa (G), Kapinus (G), Ciezski (G), Owusu (G)
