“About five weeks ago, I'd have taken a game like this,” Jan Jensen said after Thursday's 55-43 win over Rutgers. "Your perspectives can so quickly change.” A team that showed growth even in a win that made them cranky. www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports...

At the half: Iowa 28, Rutgers 22. Was bound to be a flat performance after 3 big wins and 3 biggies on deck, but that's why you need a defense. Outside of Lucy Olsen (19 points), Iowa is 2-of-19 from the floor and still up 6.
