Following a 1-1 series in the 4 Tha Culture Holiday Classic last week, the Lady Lions took a trip to Iowa City to face the No. 14-ranked Hawkeyes in a key Big Ten matchup. The blue and white are yet to win a Big Ten matchup, a key piece to their possible tournament prospect.
Both teams are coming off recent double-digit losses, with Penn State losing to Richmond 70-54 and Iowa losing to No. 1 UConn 90-64. The Hawkeyes lead the overall series 30-29, with Iowa winning the past 11, but the Lady Lions are looking to begin the final stretch of their season strong.
