Swelling with Iowa Hawkeye pride since 2007
Get your coffee ready this morning for a huge early morning matchup between two top Big Ten teams, as Ava Heiden and the No. 13 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes host the No. 6 Michigan Wolverines in a game that has been circled on many a calendar, in a match where the winner almost certainly locks up […]

Jan Jensen’s Iowa Hawkeyes squad continue their week of road trips tonight with what should be an easy matchup against the Purdue Boilermakers. That is…we thought it would be a routine game against Purdue, until about a few hours ago, when Iowa announced that senior forward Hannah Stuelke would miss tonight’s game. It’s certainly better […]
Finally, Iowa has their big win. In what can only be described as a rugby match played on a basketball court, Iowa outdueled ninth-ranked Nebraska Tuesday night, 57-52, to land the biggest win of the Ben McCollum era to date.

A few days removed from a much needed win against the No. 25 Washington Huskies, the Iowa Women’s basketball team has headed to Lincoln for another important conference matchup against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

The Iowa Hawkeyes never had their footing in a 78-57 loss to the #9 Purdue Boilermakers. They finished just the game on 38% shooting and made just 6/22 from deep. They were just 9/18 on dunks/layups. Purdue once again shot the leather off the ball with the 12/30 from three underscoring just how big the […]
The Iowa Hawkeyes (18-6, 8-5) are looking for a bounce back win from their loss at Maryland. The opponent is a tough one, the #13 Purdue Boilermakers (20-4, 10-3). Iowa last beat Purdue in the 2022 Big Ten Tournament and are 0-5 since and 2-11 in their last 13 outings. Ugh. Purdue is coming off […]
Despite Bennett Stirtz’s 32 points, 6 assists, and no turnovers, the Iowa Hawkeyes (18-6, 8-5) could never really find a team-wide groove in a 77-70 loss at Maryland (10-14, 3-10). It’s Iowa’s worst loss of the season, as Maryland was rated 161st coming into the game. The Hawks struggled to contain Andre Mills throughout much […]
We get a double dose of the Hawkeye basketball teams tonight. The men are in College Park to face a Maryland team who just came off their 2nd conference win victory while the women are hosting a fellow top 25 outfit in Washington. The Hawks will look to win their 7th Big Ten game in […]

The Iowa Hawkeyes (15-5, 5-4) showed grit coming back from a 10-0 deficit to build a 17-point second half lead. Yet they let their foot off the gas and the USC Trojans (15-6, 4-6) capitalized on it to get a 1-point lead inside of a minute. Two Bennett Stirtz free throws gave Iowa the lead […]
The Iowa Hawkeyes (14-5, 4-4) look to get above the .500 mark in conference with the USC Trojans (15-5, 4-5) coming to town this evening.

After losing senior guard Taylor McCabe to a non-contact injury on the first possession of the game and facing an early 8-2 deficit directly afterwards, things looked dire for Jan Jensen and the Iowa Hawkeyes.
