The No. 6 Iowa Hawkeyes are set to close out a tremendous 2024 regular season at home against the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes. In their last meeting, the Buckeyes managed to slow down Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes in Columbus, winning 100-92.
Ohio State has won every game since while Iowa dropped games to Nebraska and Indiana, giving the Buckeyes the 2024 Big Ten Championship outright. While this game won't determine the regular season champion, it's already making history. Tickets to see Iowa vs. Ohio State in Carver-Hawkeye Arena are roughly $557 for non-general admission, with the most expensive tickets clearing $1,000.
To add to the mystique, it's been confirmed this will be Caitlin Clark's final home game with the Hawkeyes as she announced Thursday afternoon her intentions to enter the 2024 WNBA Draft after the season. Clark will have an opportunity for another record in the game as she only needs 18 points to break "Pistol" Pete Marovich's all-time scoring record in college basketball, men's or women's.
Clark scored 45 points in Iowa's first crack at Ohio State and is averaging an NCAA-best 32.1 points per game.
Iowa's seeding in the Big Ten Championship could be in play with a loss to Ohio State and an Indiana win over Maryland, granting the No. 2 seed to the Hoosiers and the No. 3 seed to the Hawkeyes. A win for Iowa would give them a chance at the No. 2 seed.
It's a historical matchup ahead of the postseason for the Hawkeyes, so for anyone who wasn't fortunate enough to get tickets to see this one in person, here's how to catch the game.
Tipoff is at noon CST and will broadcast on FOX. Alternatively, those looking to stream the game can do so here on FOX Sports with a TV provider login.
