Iowa women’s basketball vs. Nebraska: Live Updates, Score

After No. 12 Iowa women’s basketball (19-5, 10-3 Big Ten) snapped its three-game losing streak on Feb. 11 with a 65-56 home win over Washington from Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the Hawkeyes hit the road for a Presidents’ Day rivalry clash against Nebraska (16-9, 5-9 Big Ten) from inside Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Neb.

Against Washington, Iowa was led by sophomore point guard Chit-Chat Wright, who scored 21 points and made five 3-pointers. Following Wright in the scoresheet was senior forward Hannah Stuelke, who notched her seventh double-double of the season and the 18th of her career with 14 points and 16 rebounds.

For Nebraska, the Cornhuskers enter today’s matchup on a four-game losing streak after dropping their last contest at a red-hot Minnesota squad on Feb. 11 by an 84-67 final score. While Nebraska has struggled as of late, the Cornhuskers still boast a potent offense led by sophomore guard Britt Prince’s 17.4 points per game on 55.4% shooting, 48.6% from 3-point range, and 93.9% from the free-throw line.

Today’s game also has a significant impact on Iowa’s Big Ten Tournament seeding, as a win over Nebraska would elevate the Hawkeyes to the No. 3 seed in the conference’s standings. However, a loss to the Cornhuskers would slide the Hawkeyes to the No. 5 seed and out of the double-bye with four league games remaining.

With Iowa looking to sweep the season series over the Cornhuskers, follow along with HawkeyesWire for live scoring updates, highlights, and analysis of today’s action:

Timeout Iowa.

Iowa calls a timeout after Nebraska’s 8-0 scoring run cut the lead to 12 points. Hawkeyes are playing a bit sloppily over the past few possessions, which has allowed the Cornhuskers to mount an offensive surge.

Iowa has dominated Nebraska through the first two quarters, leading the Cornhuskers by 18 points.

Ava Heiden leads all scorers with 18 points on 8-for-9 shooting from the floor and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line. As a team, Iowa has shot 19-for-28 from the floor, including 5-for-11 from 3-point range and 2-for-4 from the charity stripe.

Defensively, Iowa has forced 15 turnovers by Nebraska (6 steals and 1 block) so far. The Hawkeyes have also held the Cornhuskers to 12-for-27 shooting, including 2-for-7 from beyond the 3-point arc.

Timeout Iowa.

Jan Jensen has called a timeout to appeal an out-of-bounds call that was originally signaled as Nebraska’s possession.

Update: Iowa’s appeal was unsuccessful, costing Iowa a timeout. The review was upheld by officials.

Media Timeout.

Iowa continues its impressive defensive presence from the opening quarter into the second frame, allowing its transition offense to thrive and extend its lead.

Hawkeyes are doing an excellent job of frustrating Britt Prince and the Cornhuskers’ offense, forcing Nebraska to find scoring elsewhere.

Iowa controlled the pace of play in the first quarter with a ferocious defensive presence, creating quality offensive looks and a large advantage over Nebraska after 10 minutes.

Foul trouble could be brewing early, as the Hawkeyes have picked up six fouls in the first quarter, including two on center Layla Hays.

Stremlow leads the team with 9 points on 3-for-3 from 3-point range.

Timeout Nebraska.

Hawkeyes starting efficiently early on offense with Chit-Chat Wright scoring five points and Taylor Stremlow adding a 3-pointer to force a timeout by the Cornhuskers.

Once again, Iowa’s injury report indicates the Hawkeyes will be without the services of sophomore guard Emely Rodriguez (back) and senior forward Jada Gyamfi (knee) for today’s matchup at Nebraska.

For Rodriguez, it will be her 19th consecutive absence due to the back ailment. Meanwhile, Gyamfi is still recovering from her December knee procedure.

Nebraska is entering today’s contest with a clean slate outside of its two season-ending injuries.
