SAN ANTONIO – It's simple: Score more points, you win.

Outscoring Iowa? Easier said than done. The Hawkeyes average 86.6 points per game, second best in the nation.

And that's what the 12th-seeded Central Michigan women's basketball team must do on Sunday (noon, ESPN) when it takes on the fifth-seeded Hawkeyes in a first-round NCAA Tournament game at the Alamodome. The winner will play on Tuesday against either fourth-seeded Kentucky or 13th-seeded Idaho State.

The Chippewas are 18-8 and last week won their first Mid-American Conference Tournament title since 2018.
