Key Highlights

  • 15. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis is in large part due to their 90-64 loss to No.
  • 1 UConn on Dec.
  • 20, where the team coughed up 26 turnovers, which led to 41 Huskies points.
  • While the team actually shot pretty well (25-for-51 from the floor, 8-for-17 from 3-point territory, and 6-for-8 from the free-throw line) against UConn, the Hawkeyes' miscues ultimately were the deciding factor. The 90-64 loss to UConn was discouraging, especially coming just 10 days after the loss to rival Iowa State, but there were encouraging signs with an important first month of Big Ten play looming.
  • Considering the level of competition, Hannah Stuelke might have played her best game of the season with 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting.
