After its first setback of the season, No. 2 Iowa women’s basketball resumes its season tonight against the Drake Bulldogs (3-0).
The Hawkeyes lost on Thursday against Kansas State, 65-58, in a game where Caitlin Clark shot just 9-of-32 from the floor and only 2-of-16 from 3-point range. As a team, Iowa (3-1) finished shooting just 36.1% from the field and a paltry 9.5% from 3-point distance.
It’s the second season in a row where K-State has knocked off a highly-ranked Hawkeye squad early in the year. But, it’s time to turn the page to Drake and a Bulldogs squad that is off to a nice start to its 2023-24 campaign.
Drake is 3-0 after wins over St. Thomas (94-69), Saint Louis (78-66) and Iowa State (85-73). Four Bulldogs are averaging double-figure scoring, led by graduate forward Grace Berg’s 19.0 points per game.
As Iowa looks to get back on the right track and back to its winning ways, here’s how Hawkeye fans can follow the action tonight.
