Stay hot, Hannah Stuelke!
The Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native is playing some of the best basketball of her career right now, and the Hawkeyes are taking advantage.
Stuelke was the driving force behind Iowa's wins over Indiana and Oregon, earning Big Ten and National Player of the Week honors (AP, USBWA).
After another stellar week where the Hawkeyes knocked off two top-15 teams in back-to-back games, Stuelke is once again taking home National Player of the Week honors.
Hannah was named the Naismith National Player of the Week

In unsurprising fashion, Stuelke was named the Naismith National Player of the Week for her performances against No. 15 Maryland and No. 12 Ohio State.
Iowa's performance against Maryland was great until the final three minutes, but the squad held off the Terrapins in OT.
Stuelke tallied 12 points and 11 rebounds in the victory, and also added five assists.
The game against Ohio State was never in doubt as the Hawkeyes ran the Buckeyes off the floor in a 91-70 victory over the weekend.
Stuelke finished with 18 points and a massive 15 rebounds in the win, notching her sixth double-double of the season.
After a dominating week, Hannah averaged 17.3 points and 11.7 rebounds per game, while also adding 3.6 assists per game in two Iowa victories.
Stuelke is showcasing not only her scoring and rebounding abilities but also her ability to pass from the post.
The Hawkeyes have a difficult California road trip ahead, with games against USC and No. 2 UCLA.
UCLA has one of the best post players in the country in Lauren Betts, and Stuelke and Ava Heiden will be tasked with slowing down last year's National Defensive Player of the Year.
