The Iowa Women's basketball team is headed to Oklahoma for their first-round matchup in the NCAA Tournament. The Hawkeyes are returning to the NCAA Tournament for the seventh straight season (a program record).
One year removed from Lisa Bluder retiring, and losing superstar Caitlin Clark to the WNBA, the Hawkeyes are dancing again!
Head Coach Jan Jensen has guided the Hawkeyes to a 22-10 record in her first season at the helm. Iowa attempted to win their fourth Big Ten Title in a row, but fell short to Ohio State in the Quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament.
The Hawkeyes earned a six-seed in the NCAA Tournament during the Selection Sunday Show on March 17. On the eve of their first NCAA Tournament game, a Hawkeye duo has been named a must-watch for the Tournament.

Autumn Johnson named Hannah Stuelke and Lucy Olsen a dynamic duo to watch going into March Madness.
Lucy Olsen has been a godsend for the Iowa Women's Basketball team since she transferred from Villanova during the offseason. Olsen was the team leader in points (18.0) and assists per game (4.9).
Olsen earned unanimous First Team All-Big Ten and Big Ten All-Tournament Team awards in her first and only season in Iowa City.
Hannah Stuelke has been a force for the Hawkeyes in the paint. The six-foot, two-inch junior from Cedar Rapids, Iowa is nearly averaging a double-double this season with 12.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.
Stuelke has seven double-doubles this season, including a 14-point, 10-rebound performance in their last game versus Ohio State.
The dynamic duo is averaging a combined 30.8 points and 11.7 rebounds per game this season and will need that and more to make a deep run in March.
