Last week it was twos all around. This week it is fours everywhere for the Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball team. After a loss to Nebraska, the Iowa Hawkeyes find themselves at No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports Women’s Basketball Coaches Poll.
The Hawkeyes are sitting at 22-3 overall, but two of their losses have come in Big Ten play which now has them in second place in the conference with a mark of 11-2. Iowa is right behind No. 2 Ohio State who is 21-3 overall with a 12-1 Big Ten record.
Iowa can rebound this week when they host the Michigan Wolverines in a night that will be electric inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena as Caitlin Clark needs just eight points to claim the crown as the women’s all-time leading scorer.
The top five of this week’s poll sees some new faces as Stanford has climbed to No. 3 and Texas has joined the party at No. 5. The South Carolina Gamecocks are holding steady at No. 1 with a win over UConn this past weekend to move their undefeated record to 23-0.
