After convincing wins over Towson and Eastern Illinois, No. 10 Iowa women's basketball faces its first major test of the 2026-27 season.
The Hawkeyes (2-0) head to M&T Bank Center at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn., to meet No. 2 UConn (1-1). The Huskies enter off a 77-66 loss at No. 5 Michigan that UConn head coach Geno Auriemma called one of the program's worst performances in years.
“(The loss at Michigan) was the worst UConn performance since early November in (2004),” Auriemma said. “I actually remember the game. We played North Carolina in Raleigh in some tip-off tournament or something (the Jimmy V Classic). It's (22) years ago but I remember like it happened yesterday because it was just as bad. I walked out of that building going, ‘This
is going to be a long year.'"
