How to watch Iowa State women’s basketball vs. Connecticut: TV channel, live stream
The Iowa State women had their chance over Thanksgiving to record a resume-building win when they locked up with defending national champion South Carolina.
Now, days before another holiday, the Cyclones get a second shot at that.
Iowa State (9-3) heads to Uncasville, Conn. on Tuesday night to battle Connecticut. The game, which airs live on FOX Sports 1, will be part of the Invesco Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase from Mohegan Sun Arena.
Earlier this week, the Cyclones bounced back from a loss to in-state rival Iowa by blitzing Eastern Illinois, 87-55. Audi Crooks scored 30 and Addy Brown recorded a double-double in the easy win.
Nothing, though, will come easy against the Huskies, 2023 Final Four participants.
Connecticut (9-1) reeled off eight straight wins, including victories over North Carolina, Ole Miss and Louisville, before falling to Notre Dame last week. They rebounded with a 79-44 victory vs. Georgetown.
Paige Bueckers has returned to form, averaging almost 20 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals per game. Sarah Strong adds 16 points and Azzi Fudd 10.
The Huskies might have their minds focused past Iowa State and to Saturday when they face Juju Watkins and USC in another marquee showdown.
This will be the first meeting between the Cyclones and Huskies, as ESPN’s FPI gives UConn a 98 percent chance to win.
