It’s been a rough weekend for Iowa Hawkeyes athletics. Spencer Lee’s bid for 4 straight national championships came to a shocking end just after the Hawkeye men’s hoops team fell once again in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. But the Iowa women now hold the torch and a 2-seed hosting their final home game of the year as they take on 10-seed Georgia in the second round of the women’s NCAA Tournament.
The Bulldogs come into the day at 22-11 and fresh off an upset win over 7-seed Florida State. Head coach and former Hawkeye (and Cedar Rapids native) Katie Abrahamson-Henderson commented on the challenge ahead for Georgia, but also expects the Bulldogs to present some challenges of their own for the Hawkeyes with a slew of different defenses and aggressive pressure.
