Iowa basketball: Women clean house on national awards

The 2018-2019 college basketball season was quite a ride for the women’s Iowa basketball team. After finishing in second place in the Big Ten, the women went on a fantastic run in the conference tournament securing the women’s Big Ten Conference Championship for the first time in 18 years with a dominating victory over a top-ten ranked Maryland 90-76.

When Lisa Bluder’s squad got to the NCAA tournament as the #2 seed, they weren’t ready to make it a short visit. The women struggled to put away #15 seed Mercer before taking down #7 seed Missouri pretty easily in their final game in Iowa City for the season.
