Jan Jensen and company have figure something out after a brief three-game skid.
Iowa was flying high heading into a West Coast road trip a few weeks ago, but after losing starter Taylor McCabe for the season against Ohio State, they lost three straight.
Everything was disjointed on both ends of the court, especially on defense, causing unranked USC and Minnesota to surprise them, and UCLA to crush them.
The Hawkeyes have righted the ship due to the stellar play of center Ava Heiden and new starter Taylor Stremlow, and they not only have a great chance earn another Quad 1 win this weekend, but also impress one of the top players in the 2027 recruiting class.
