About this episode
Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball overcome Illinois’ barrage of eight straight threes to clinch the No. 2 seed for the Big Ten Tournament—are they primed for a deep NCAA run despite adversity and a young roster? Trent Condon recaps the Hawkeyes’ gutsy win, fueled by breakout performances from Ava Heiden and Hannah Stuelke, smart adjustments from Jan Jensen, and clutch bench contributions by Journey Houston. Discussion spotlights Iowa’s evolving high-low offense, concerns over outside shooting, and strategic defensive shifts ahead of Wisconsin. Insights extend to Big Ten Tournament matchups, the overall maturity of Iowa’s youthful core, and how this resilience might shape their postseason prospects. Plus, Elliot Clough joins to analyze men’s hoops trends, highlight Alvaro Folgueiras’ game-changing play, and examine fresh faces on the football defensive line. Will Iowa’s balance and depth carry them through March or will old struggles resurface against tougher competition?
