The Jan Jensen era at Iowa officially begins Wednesday night when the Hawkeye women open the basketball season at home against Northern Illinois. After back-to-back trips to the NCAA title game the Hawkeyes enter this season unranked.
Jensen says senior guard Sydney Affolter(uh-fall-ter) may play Wednesday night. She has been out since having her knee scoped earlier this fall.
Jensen says it will be good for the newcomers to experience the large crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
