The Hawkeyes are set to hit the road for a high-stakes showdown against No. 9/8 Ohio State on Monday, Feb. 17, at the Schottenstein Center.
Iowa's women's basketball squad will attempt to pull off something no team has managed this season—hand Ohio State its first home loss. The Buckeyes boast a flawless 12-0 record in Columbus and will welcome Iowa for a President's Day clash.
However, despite their lofty ranking, the eighth-ranked Buckeyes have stumbled a bit in recent weeks, posting just a 4-3 mark over their last seven outings. Meanwhile, Iowa has been firing on all cylinders, rattling off six consecutive wins under first-year head coach Jan Jensen.
Monday’s battle marks the start of a brutal three-game stretch for the Hawkeyes (18-7, 8-6 Big Ten), who are set to face three straight opponents currently above them in the conference standings.
Iowa heads into this one fresh off an underwhelming 55-43 victory over Northwestern on Thursday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. One key trend to watch—when Lucy Olsen dishes out at least six assists, the Hawkeyes are a formidable 9-1.
Before their recent surge, Iowa had dropped five straight games, leading to plenty of doubters questioning their credentials.
