The Big Four women’s basketball series begins Thursday night when 10th ranked Iowa hosts UNI. The Hawkeyes enter with a record of 2-1 after a 91-79 loss at second ranked UConn.
That’s Iowa coach Jan Jensen, who says her team is not looking ahead to Sunday’s game in Sioux City against eighth ranked Vanderbilt.
Jensen says her team is focused on the Panthers.
Northern Iowa coach Tanya Warren says Hawkeye center Ava Heiden is a tought matchup for the Panthers.
Warren says the Panthers must play well on defense and take care of the ball.
While the Big Four series for the men is a thing of the past it still remains part of the women’s basketball scene in the state.
The Panthers are 1-1 and coming off a loss at South Dakota State.
