Before we get into this week’s contests and big news out of Iowa City, let’s not forget that your Iowa Hawkeyes (22-5/14-2) went 2-0 last week. Iowa hosted Wisconsin and to some may have seemed inhospitable beating the Badgers 91-61. Sorry (not really), Bucky. Coach Lisa Bluder’s squad then went on the road and beat Nebraska by a score of 80-60. Nebby tears are some of the best, no?
For the Hawkeyes the usual suspects stood out once again. Caitlin Clark (NPOY) played less than 29 minutes and had 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists (for the people who criticize her, she had just 3 turnovers).
