The University of Iowa women’s basketball team will return home to host #18/19 Iowa State in a crucial Big Ten matchup on Wednesday, Dec. 11, at 8 p.m. (CT) inside sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Iowa, led by head coach Jan Jensen, has been impressive this season, earning eight straight 20-win seasons and boasting the longest active streak in the nation scoring at least 80 points per game in four consecutive seasons. The Hawkeyes have outscored eight of its nine opponents this year in paint points and are averaging 20+ assists per game for the seventh consecutive season.
Iowa State, meanwhile, returns six players from last season’s roster, including three Naismith Starting 5 Watch List members Addy Brown, Audi Crooks, and Emily Ryan. The Cyclones have a long history of success in women’s basketball, with the longest tenured coaching staff in the country.
The Hawkeyes lead the all-time series against Iowa State, 31-23, but the Cyclones have been competitive in recent matchups. Iowa has won eight in a row against the Cyclones inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena dating back to Dec. 7, 2008.
