Iowa Women’s Basketball vs Northern Illinois: How to Watch + Game Thread

The Jan Jensen era officially begins tonight for the Iowa Women’s Basketball team as the Hawkeyes kick off their 2024-2025 season at home against the Northern Illinois Huskies. It will not only mark the beginning of the Jensen era, but also the beginning of the post-Caitlin Clark era for Iowa.

The new-look Hawkeyes are still expected to be a veteran bunch. In an effort to help fill the void left by Clark, Iowa brought in senior Villanova transfer Lucy Olsen, who averaged 23.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game last season. She’s expected to start next to fellow senior Kylie Feurbach and junior Taylor McCabe in the backcourt while junior Hannah Stuelke and senior Addison O’Grady round out the expected starting lineup.
