A season and a magical run in the NCAA Tournament ended in the Greensboro, North Carolina regional final tonight as the No. 2 seed Iowa Hawkeyes fell to the No. 1 overall seed Baylor Bears, SCORE.
It was Iowa’s first time in the Elite Eight in head coach Lisa Bluder’s career, but the Bears were just in a different league than the Hawkeyes, both in size and depth. The matchup featured the highest scoring team in the country in Iowa and the best defense in the country in Baylor, and the Bears defense certainly stepped up to the task at hand.
