The 11th ranked Iowa Hawkeye women will be a substantial underdog on Saturday when they play top ranked UConn in the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn. It is part of the Shark Beauty Women’s Champions Classic. UConn is 11-0 following Wednesday night’s 89-53 win over Marquette.
That’s Iowa coach Jan Jensen, who says UConn has overwhelming talent and depth.
Jensen says one bad stretch against UConn can turn a game into a rout.
Jensen says the Hawkeyes will need a complete effort to have a chance.
