Several pieces of the puzzle for the Iowa Hawkeyes‘ 2024-25 women’s college basketball schedule have been trickling out over the past week.
As one of the nation’s biggest draws in women’s college basketball, it’s no surprise to see that venues and events are clamoring to welcome in Iowa early next season.
Just like this past season, Iowa will be taking part in another inaugural, early-season showcase event. The Hawkeyes were recently announced as part of the inaugural Women’s Champions Classic.
The four-team event will feature a doubleheader of games in New York City between Iowa and fellow traditional power programs Connecticut, Louisville and Tennessee. In its second game this season, Iowa faced then-No. 5 Virginia Tech in the inaugural Ally Tipoff in Charlotte, N.C.
Now, another piece of Iowa’s 2024-25 schedule has come to light.
JUST IN: No. 4 ranked @IowaWBB will play @KUWBball in a non-conference matchup on Nov. 20 during the 2024-25 season.
Tickets will be as low as $30 & go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 29 online only at https://t.co/VZ1aAlagVM.

The Hawkeyes will face the Kansas Jayhawks on Nov. 20 from inside the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D.
