After a thrilling win over North Carolina State this past weekend, the Iowa women’s basketball team takes on Baylor in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament this evening.
Baylor, historically, is close to juggernaut-status in women’s basketball. Not quite UConn-levels of dominance, but up there. Head coach Kim Mulkey has been in Waco since 2000, racking up a 570-99 record in that time. Under her watch, the Bears have been to five Elite Eights, and two national championships, the most recent one coming in 2012. That team had Britney Griner on it, if you recall.
