2024–2025 Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball schedule
After last season’s national championship game appearance, Hawkeye fans are preparing for a transitional season. After losing talent like Caitlin Clark, Kate Martin, and former head coach Lisa Bluder, preseason polls have them a step behind teams like Indiana, and Ohio State.
They’ll also be playing their inaugural season in the jumbo-sized Big Ten, which now features USC and Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year JuJu Watkins. But with returning and new players like Hannah Stuelke and Villanova addition Lucy Olsen, the Hawkeyes have the talent to remain competitive in a tough league.
