After a slow start against Northwestern (7-12/0-8), Coach Jan Jensen’s Hawkeyes (14-7/4-6) played a solid game, beating the Wildcats 85-80 to move the needle closer toward the goal of a postseason appearance. It was not a perfect game, but the Hawks did what was necessary to get a win. The Hawkeyes now look to upset JuJu Watkins’ USC Trojans this Sunday at home. And, oh yeah, the University of Iowa is retiring Caitlin Clark’s number at the conclusion of the B1G tilt.
Observations: Northwestern
- Hannah Stuelke returned after missing a few games due to injury.
