The #Hawkeyes drop to 22-10 - a lot of those losses were very narrow. They will be a tough out in the NCAA. Iowa falls just short of getting its 12th straight record-breaking win in the #B1G WBB Tourney. The Final Box + Post-Game Notes -- and updated brackets...

Well that's just unnecessary shit - poor sportsmanship - WTH hell is she even talking about that -- we'll see how she fares tomorrow vs. Betts / UCLA. My money's on Betts.

FINAL: FADE TO BLACK Ohio State 60 - Iowa 59 Heartbreaking loss for the #Hawkeyes as they missed 2 shots in the last 2 seconds & the #Buckeye squeeze out the hotly contested win. Neither team shot well - in fact OSU went the last 4:10 without a FG yet still got the win. Final Stats...

It's back-and-forth and the #Hawkeyes now trail 53-51. This might come down to the last couple of possessions. MTO: 4Q 4:49

3Q End: Ohio State 48 - Iowa 46 The #Hawkeyes have TO issues (15) & that's the primary reason they're not leading right now. Both teams shooting is mediocre - both teams D is solid. Stats are about as even as it gets. Hope you brought your extra fingernails. The Stats after 3 from Indy...

A little #Hawkeyes run + an OSU drought results in a 37-33 Iowa lead. MTO: 3Q 5:49

2Q End: Ohio State 29 - Iowa 28 The #Hawkeyes D is tough and they battle back - still only shooting 34%/27% and yet only trail by 1. Pretty exciting game. Lucy leads all scorers with 12. The Halftime Stats...

LuLu hits a 3 and brings the #Hawkeyes into a 18-18 tie - after Iowa was down 9. Great fight-back by Iowa. UI is only shooting 30% from the field and the game is tied. OTO | MTO 2Q 6:59

1Q End: Ohio State 14 - Iowa 9 The #Hawkeyes had a horrible start then fought right back into this. OSU has TO + PF issues early. Iowa's shooting still in the toilet - and yet they're only 5 behind. The Stats from Indy...

Not the start the #Hawkeyes wanted playing their 3rd straight game in 3 days. Sloppy. Perimeter D leaky. Poor shooting. Iowa down 12-5. MTO 1Q 4:54

Tip is just minutes away for the #11 #Hawkeyes - #3 #Buckeyes WBB #B1G WBB Tournament Quarterfinal Game from Indianapolis. Should be a good one. The Starters + The Stats -- and the #B1G Officials working tonight's game...

So the stage is set for the #Hawkeyes - #Buckeyes Game - start time looks like it will be 8 PM (CT). So far today... #1 USC 84 - #9 Indiana 79 #5 Michigan 98 - #4 Maryland 71 #2 UCLA 85 - #10 Nebraska 74 BTN | Hawkeye Radio Network

Another Gary Barta masterclass. Never should have shoved Gayle Blevins overboard. Did irreparable damage to a once strong program.

#11 #Hawkeyes are back in action tonight in the #B1G WBB Tournament Quarterfinals facing #3 Ohio State & looking for some payback for their OT loss earlier in Columbus. Iowa got here by beating Wisconsin & Michigan State - this will be OSU's 1st tourney game. 8 PM Tip BTN | HRN Pre-Game Info...

The late-night column from Carver. Iowa got caught in the Spartans' second-half fury, the latest cut that felt like one of the deepest. iowacollegehoops.com/2025/03/07/m...

MBB. We've seen this movie way too many times. I don't envy what Beth Goetz is facing. Not making the #B1G Tournament is pretty damning. It's worth nothing that Michigan State shot a whopping 30 FTs to the #Hawkeyes 18 on Iowa's home court - seems kind of suspect to me. The Final Box + PGN...

I haven't had dinner yet and now you're making my mouth water. Been eating those things since I was 4 years old in East Central Illinois - and that never gets old! My mother knew the founder Gus Belt!

Want to talk Defense? Well the #Hawkeyes held Michigan State to 19 pts below their season average and forced them into 24 TOs - hard to get much better than that. The Final Box + Post-Game Notes from Iowa's 81-74 #B1G Tournament victory...

The way they're playing the #Hawkeyes have to be one of the best #11 Seeds ever - they improve to 22-9. Lots of "stars" for Iowa tonight. UI lost at Ohio State in OT on 2/17 - could be a great game tomorrow night -- tip should be around 8 PM (CT) again. #B1G WBB Tournament Brackets updated...

WBB - FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD #11 Iowa 74 - #6 Michigan State 61 Terrific 4Q for the #Hawkeyes who move on to the Quarterfinals tomorrow night vs. #3 Ohio State. UI's D was really good. MSU had 24 TOs - UI got 28 Pts off those! Balanced scoring again for the Hawks. The Final Stats...

Oh, boy. Several huge #Hawkeyes baskets as the shot clock expires - and Iowa's lead is now 70-61 with 1:38 left in regulation. Hang on to your hats...

The #Hawkeyes have a 64-57 lead and Ava Heiden is doing it on both ends of the court - with Stuelke on the bench with 4 PFs. She has 10 pts + 3 RBs in just 9 mins. 4Q 5:00 MTO

WBB - 3Q End: Iowa 54 - Michigan State 48 MSU took the lead briefly but the #Hawkeyes have roared back - rock-solid D + an 8-0 run. Sparty has 22 TOs & the Hawks have scored 23 pts off of those! UI has foul issues: Olsen playing with 3 & Stuelke was riding the bench with 4. The Stats...

WBB: Sparty has outscored the #Hawkeyes 19-9 so far in the 3Q - with the help of some odd foul calls as both LuLu & Hannah have 3 PFs each + Jensen picked up a Tech after a ridiculous charging call on Steuelke. MSU leads 44-41 at the 3Q 5:20 MTO.

MBB - FINAL: FADE TO BLACK Michigan State 91 - Iowa 84 MSU caught fire in the 2H & left the #Hawkeyes in the dust on Senior Day. UI did fight back, hitting 7 of last 9, but fell short once again. Hawks "slim" chance to make the #B1G Tourney has become even more malnourished. The Final Stats...

WBB - 2Q End: Iowa 32 - Michigan State 25 Great start to the 2Q by the #Hawkeyes who built a 12 pt lead, then Sparty clawed back. Foul trouble for UI as both LuLu & Hannah have 2 PFs. Hawks shooting greatly improved over the 1Q but 3s not falling yet. MSU has 15 TOs (8 in 2Q) - UI has 9. The Stats.

The #Hawkeyes have a 16-0 run in the 2Q aided by 8 MSU TOs - Sparty hasn't scored this period. LuLu is the leading scorer but now on the bench with 2 PFs. Iowa 28 - MSU 16 2Q 3:37 MTO

WBB - 1Q End: Michigan State 16 - Iowa 12 The #Hawkeyes shooting so far is the exact opposite of last night - they are ice cold yet still trail by just 4. LuLu has 9 of UI's 12 pts. Not much else to write home about yet. The Stats from Indy...

WBB: It's almost time for the opening tip in Indy. Here are The Starters + The Stats for the #Hawkeyes - #Spartans plus the #B1G Officials for tonight's game...

MBB: 1H END Iowa 37 - Michigan State 30 Has to be one of the best periods for the #Hawkeyes this season - at one point they grabbed a 14 pt lead after a 22-2 run. The Halftime Stats from CHA...

WBB Update: The #11 #Hawkeyes - #6 #Spartans Game should begin at 8 PM. Of the 3 #B1G Tourney Games played so far today, 2 have been upsets: #10 Nebraska just upended #7 Illinois 74-70; #9 Indiana defeated #8 Oregon 78-62; and #5 Michigan handled #12 Washington 66-58.

Here are The Starters + The Stats... #Hawkeyes vs. #Spartans tipping just after the top of the hour at CHA.

Off topic - but very important...

The #11 #Hawkeyes face #6 Michigan State tonight in the #B1G WBB Tournament. UI whomped Wisconsin last night 81-54. MSU won 68-66 vs. Iowa in East Lansing on 12/15. Hawks have won 8 of last 11 vs. Sparty. Tip in Indy will be 8 PM (CT) +/-. BTN | Hawkeye Radio Network. The Pre-Game Info...

MBB: The #Hawkeyes host their #6 Michigan State tonight at CHA. UI's chance of making the #B1G Tournament is best defined as very "slim" (but not quite yet "none"). 7:00 PM Tip. FS1 | Hawkeye Radio Network. (Note: We will provide stats but our primary coverage tonight will be WBB.) Pre-Game Info.

#11 #Hawkeyes advance to the 2nd Rnd of the #B1G WBB Tourney, facing #6 Michigan State tomorrow night at 8 PM'ish CT (BTN). They played each other in their B1G opener back on 12/15/24 in East Lansing - MSU won 68-66. Iowa's 81-54 win over Wisconsin improved its record to 21-9. Final Box + PGN...

FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD Iowa 81 - Wisconsin 54 An amazing performance by the #Hawkeyes - winning their 31st straight over UW + their 9th out of last 11. UI badgered Wisky from start to finish. Offense was terrific. Lot of bench play. Led for 36:35. Solid D. What's not to like. Final Stats...

The #Hawkeyes start the 4Q will all reserves and UW took advantage of that - got a little sloppy so Jan called a timeout. But Iowa's lead is still 65-44. 4Q 7:12 UI TO | MTO

3Q End: Iowa 65 - Wisconsin 39 Another terrific Qtr for the #Hawkeyes - hot shooting continues unabated. Jan got bench players a lot of PT already - and if they hold a lead like this the bench will get a lot more in the next 10 mins. Just about everything going UI's way tonight. The Stats...

And a banked-in 3 gives the #Hawkeyes a 25 pt. lead: 57-32. 3Q 4:11 MTO

If the #Hawkeyes can keep up this pace - that should allow for a lot of bench time in the 4Q - which is critical since Iowa will have to win 5 in a row in 5 straight days to win their 4th consecutive #B1G Tournament Championship.
