The Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball team has taken the mantra of playing “any place, anywhere, any time” to heart. They are on an international tour and taking care of business.
Up next for the ladies is tipping it off inside Kinnick Stadium. Per Iowa’s official site, the Hawkeyes will take on DePaul inside Kinnick Stadium in an exhibition game on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 3 p.m. CT in the “Crossover at Kinnick.”

The game is set to have the proceeds go to The University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. Fans will be able to watch the game on the Big Ten Network’s B1G+ and listen on Hawkeye Radio Network.
Iowa has seen other crossovers of sorts inside Kinnick. Back in 2015, the Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling team hosted Oklahoma State in a meet in the stadium. The Hawkeyes took down the No. 1 ranked Cowboys in front of a record-setting crowd.
The DePaul Blue Demons went 16-17 last season. They will have some holes to fill as forward Aneesah Morrow transferred to LSU this offseason. Morrow averaged a double-double last year 25.7 points per game to go along with 13 rebounds.
Iowa returns star guard Caitlin Clark who will look to continue her show-stopping play and put up points inside Kinnick Stadium now as well.
This matchup comes on a week that the Hawkeyes’ football team hits the road. They take on the Wisconsin Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium in a pivotal matchup that could have implications on who takes home the Big Ten West crown.
All in all, the “Crossover at Kinnick” has made this a must-see weekend for Iowa fans across the board.
