Two teams looking to stay in the top half of a rugged Big Ten race meet on Wednesday night when the 23rd ranked Iowa Hawkeye women visit Illinois. The Hawkeyes are 12-3 overall as they get set for the second half of the regular season.

That’s Iowa coach Jan Jensen. The Hawkeyes played their worst half of the season on Sunday in falling behind eighth ranked Maryland by 25 points before rallying to make a game of it.

The Hawkeyes are 2-2 in the Big Ten while the Illini are 1-3.

The Challenge for the Hawkeyes will be slowing down Illinois forward Kendall Bostic. She averages more than 15-and-a-half points and more than 11 rebounds per game.
