The third ranked Iowa Hawkeye women play Penn State in Friday night’s quarterfinal round at the Big Ten Tournament in the Twin Cities. The Hawkeyes will be in search of their third straight tournament title and enter the post season with a record of 26-4.
That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder who says game prep is always a challenge during conference tournaments.
Bluder says the soldout crowds at home and on the road have prepared the Hawkeyes for the post season.
This week’s tournament will draw record crowds.
Penn State advanced with an 80-56 victory over Wisconsin.
