What to Know
We’ve got another exciting Big Ten matchup on schedule as the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Maryland Terrapins are set to tip at 8:30 p.m. ET on February 14th at Xfinity Center. Iowa will be strutting in after a win while the Terrapins will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Even though Minnesota scored an imposing 85 points on Sunday, Iowa still came out on top. The Hawkeyes walked away with a 90-85 win over the Golden Gophers. The victory was all the more spectacular given Iowa was down 20 points with 16:08 left in the second half.
Iowa’s victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Owen Freeman, who dropped a double-double on 17 points and 14 rebounds. Freeman continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he’s played. Tony Perkins was another key contributor, scoring 18 points along with six rebounds and three steals.
Meanwhile, Maryland fought the good fight in their overtime game against the Buckeyes on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell to the Buckeyes 79-75. Maryland’s defeat continues a disappointing trend for the squad, making it three in a row.
Maryland’s defeat shouldn’t obscure the performances of Jahmir Young, who scored 26 points along with seven rebounds, and Donta Scott who scored 19 points along with seven rebounds. Scott didn’t help Maryland’s cause all that much against the Scarlet Knights last Tuesday but the same can’t be said for this contest.
The Hawkeyes’ win bumped their record up to 14-10. As for the Terrapins, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-11.
Wednesday’s match is shaping up to be a blowout: Iowa just can’t miss this season, having made 48% of their shots per game. It’s a different story for Maryland, though, as they’ve only made 40.9% of their shots this season. Given Iowa’s sizable advantage in that area, the Terrapins will need to find a way to close that gap.
Iowa is hoping to beat the odds on Wednesday, as the experts think they’re headed for a loss. Neither team has fared well against the spread this season; they is 9-15, while Maryland is 10-14.

Pat McAfee praises Audi Crooks, plays hype song for Iowa State star
Cyclones star Audi Crooks on Iowa State’s loss to Baylor
Iowa State’s Audi Crooks on her team’s first loss of the season to Baylor.
Audi Crooks and Iowa State women’s basketball are officially sweeping the nation.
On Tuesday’s edition of “The Pat McAfee Show” on ESPN, the Cyclones’ star and NCAA women’s basketball scoring leader garnered significant praise from the former-NFL-punter-turned-media-personality.
“I’m a huge fan of the way she operates. Huge fan,” McAfee said. “She just gets buckets. That’s literally all she does.
“Did I know anything about Iowa State’s women’s basketball team ever? Nope. But Audi Crooks highlights pop up on my (algorithm), and I say, ‘Boys, immediately, I’m making a song, we’re making a highlight,’ because people are trying to take shots at Audi right now.”
The song and video McAfee referenced was posted on his social media and played on his show before his monologue about Crooks. It features a stylish edit of Crooks points accompanied by what appears to be an AI-generated song with the chorus of, “You’re about to get cooked, by Audi Crooks.”
The “shots” at Crooks that McAfee mentioned refer to a TikTok posted by ESPN with the caption, “Baylor exposed Audi Crooks on defense,” which came in ISU’s first loss of the season on Jan. 4.
Audi Crooks stats
- 2025-26 season (14 games): 29.1 points (NCAA leader), 6.7 rebounds, 71% shooting
- 2024-25 season: 23.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 60.5% shooting
- 2023-24 season: 19.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 57.7% shooting

Iowa women’s basketball, Chit-Chat Wright sick, Kylie Feuerbach update
Iowa women’s basketball coach Jan Jensen talks about Northwestern game
Iowa women’s basketball coach Jan Jensen talks about victory at Northwestern on Monday, Jan. 5, 2026, in Evanston, Illinois.
Iowa women’s basketball was lacking some of its vocal leadership on Monday at Northwestern.
Part of that was the fact that Hawkeyes senior Kylie Feuerbach is still sidelined with an ankle injury. Another part was the fact that Chit-Chat Wright was not feeling great.
“No excuse, but Chat’s really sick,” Iowa coach Jan Jensen said after the Hawkeyes’ 67-58 victory. “She didn’t have the flu game like (Michael) Jordan. But she’s really sick, like fever. And I think that just threw her. She was really not vocal tonight. So we were kinda searching, because Chat had been coming (as a leader).”
Wright fought through it and played 34 minutes, scoring 12 points and dishing out seven assists.
Jensen confirmed that Feuerbach remains day-to-day. She hasn’t played since getting hurt Dec. 20 vs. UConn.
“I think (our leadership tonight) was by committee,” Jensen said. “It just wasn’t the same person every time. … It’ll be nice to get Kylie back in that lineup.”
Feuerbach, the team’s best perimeter defender, has missed Iowa’s last three games. Jensen said she is pleased overall with how her team has played defensively in Feuerbach’s absence.
“(Against Northwestern) it was more an ‘us’ problem offensively,” Jensen said. “Our defense held. … We turned the ball over 20 times.”
