IOWA CITY, Iowa -- When University of Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder references the future of Hawkeye women’s basketball, she looks at upcoming games, not seasons.
Everyone knows the young Hawkeyes (15-9 overall, 5-7 Big Ten) could easily have 18 wins right now, had they held double-digit second-half leads at Michigan, Michigan State, and Indiana. But the truth is, Iowa is 3-7 since earning impressive league victories at Nebraska and at home against Rutgers to begin conference play.
“You have to build for the future and when I say future, I don’t mean next year, I mean these next six (regular season) games,” Bluder said Tuesday during a news conference in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
