Iowa women’s basketball: 3 things to watch as Hawkeyes face Kansas in Sioux Falls

Iowa women’s basketball coach Jan Jensen recaps Drake win, previews Kansas matchup
IOWA CITY — The miles are piling up early and so are the growth opportunities for Iowa women’s basketball.
For already the third time this season, Jan Jensen’s Hawkeyes will venture away from Carver-Hawkeye Arena for an intriguing non-conference affair. Iowa (4-0) will take its perfect mark to the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D., for Wednesday’s 6 p.m. matchup against Kansas (4-0). The Hawkeyes have won 19 of their last 22 neutral-site games.
This South Dakota showdown is loaded with storylines as these Hawkeyes continue growing together in this young season. Here are three things to watch ahead of Wednesday’s matchup.
Can Iowa take advantage of Kansas’ lack of road experience?
Iowa’s non-conference schedule is the perfect blend of interesting but not overwhelming matchups that can be productive in numerous ways.
The Hawkeyes have already conquered two key ones with wins against Virginia Tech in Charlotte and at Drake on Sunday. Those games away from home should have Iowa ready to handle the quirkiness Sanford Pentagon presents.
Conversely, Wednesday will be the Jayhawks’ first game away from Allen Fieldhouse this season following double-digit home wins over Lindenwood (56-43), Sam Houston (66-51), Omaha (75-56) and North Alabama (81-64). Those victories look good on paper but haven’t offered much adversity to hurdle.
Successfully conquering the first road trip is always an early-season objective, no matter what the roster looks like. Having long cleared that benchmark already, Iowa hopes to catch Kansas off-guard in that regard.

Will the Hawkeyes keep their early defensive success going against a versatile Kansas lineup?
Even with Drake guard Katie Dinnebier popping off for 40 points Sunday, the Hawkeyes still delivered a better defensive effort than usual in the Knapp Center. Iowa’s 86-73 win was the fewest points yielded at Drake since 2012.
Now comes the challenge of spinning the defensive confidence forward versus an entirely different look. The versatility of North Dakota State transfer Elle Evans and freshman Reagan Williams, in particular, will put players like Hannah Stuelke and Teagan Mallegni in different defensive spots
“(Kansas’) ‘4s’ are like ‘2s’ and ‘3s’. And (Hannah and Teagan) haven’t guarded that yet,” Jensen said. “We guarded small ball (against Drake). … But this particular ‘4’ matchup, they put it on the floor a little bit more with ease. Kansas’ ‘4’ players play a little bit more like small forwards, and so that’s going to be a whole different matchup than what we’ve had.
“So I’ll be interested to see how we answer that.”

Which player delivers the next eye-popping moment during Iowa’s pivotal early-season stretch?
The foundations for lengthy postseason surges are often set in the non-conference, and Iowa has productively used the season’s first two weeks to get multiple players pointed in the right direction.
Addi O’Grady has delivered a huge jolt with four double-digit scoring performances that twice set new career-highs. Sydney Affolter wrapped up her knee recovery and is back in her starting spot. Taylor McCabe shifted back to the bench and immediately responded with seven treys in her last two games. Teagan Mallegni has two double-digit showings in her first four games. So who’s next?
While her start has certainly been above average, is Wednesday the first “go off” game for Lucy Olsen in black and gold? After a rare game without a field goal, does Affolter have a gaudy offensive stat line waiting in the wings? How do Taylor Stremlow and Ava Heiden respond to limited action on Sunday?
Any of these high-end non-conference matchups has a chance to be the next sterling effort Iowa leans on to push this team forward.

Kansas parents charged after child fatally shoots 5-year-old, 8-year-old
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Two Kansas parents were charged Thursday in connection with the shooting deaths of their two children.
The Ellsworth County Attorney’s Office charged Aaron French and Makayla French of Brookville with four counts each of aggravated child endangerment.
On March 28, law enforcement responded to a home near Kansas Highway 141 and Avenue N near Kanopolis Lake.
A 5-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy had been shot, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The 5-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene. The 8-year-old was taken to a Wichita hospital, where he died almost a week later.
The KBI said a young child in the home picked up a loaded, unsecured shotgun and shot the siblings.
Aaron French, 37, and Makayla French, 28, have been ordered to appear in court on July 28.

Kansas City to reduce bus transit frequency, extended hours after World Cup matches end

Saturday marks the final FIFA World Cup 26 match in Kansas City with Argentina set to meet Switzerland on the pitch at Kansas City Stadium.
Kansas City to reduce bus transit frequency, extended hours after World Cup
Public transportation received a big boost during the World Cup.
Johnson County launched JOCO United, and according to leaders, the airport drop and ride service that was implemented for the tournament will stick around.
“It has been very smooth every time,” Johnson County resident Mariah Wickham said. “I’ve been up and down so many times.”
Kansas City, Missouri, also bumped up its transit options, but not all of the those will be sticking around once the final whistle blows.
Tens of thousands of people have been using the airport link, streetcar and the buses to get around Kansas City. The city poured millions of dollars into building up its public transit infrastructure. The KCATA added more frequency to bus transit lines and the streetcar, pushing more fans to use public transportation during the tournament.
Brian Luton
“With the World Cup here, I was able to exercise using the streetcar more frequently and that was really fun,” Trish Luancing said. “It wold be nice to not have to drive everywhere and not have to worry about parking.”
But thousands have been relying on public transit for years, regardless of what event was in town.
“It’s been busier since the World Cup,” Jeffrice Jackson, a bus rider, said. “It’s been smooth sailing.”
The KCATA added streetcar ‘bus bridge’ links, extended bus service hours and increased frequency on East-West routes to link riders to the streetcar. It’s benefited both travelers and commuters.
Brian Luton
“[Service] has been more consistent with the World Cup than it was previously,” Jerry Breault, a rider said. “We were missing buses or routes because there weren’t enough drivers to drive that route.”
But the add-on’s stop on Sunday, July 12. If the transit authority can’t find more money, more than a dozen routes will be cut, potentially impacting more than 8,000 riders.
“It’s a little frustrating,” Breault said. “A lot of us rely on it just to get back and forth to work, to take care of our daily needs. It looks like we may be having to find alternatives and we’re not very happy about that.”
The KCATA will potentially suspend these weekday and weekend routes by September:
Weekday Route Eliminations:
- 9 – 9th Street, 365 average weekday ridership
- 21 – Cleveland Antioch, 512 average weekday ridership
- 23 – 23rd Street, 266 average weekday ridership
- 25 – Troost Local, 1,460 average weekday ridership
- 27 – 27th Street, 422 average weekday ridership
- 57 – Wornall, 411 average weekday ridership
- 71 – Prospect Local, 464 average weekday ridership
Weekend Route Eliminations:
- 9 – 9th Street, 349 average weekend ridership
- 21 – Cleveland Antioch, 312 average weekend ridership
- 23 – 23rd Street, 312 average weekend ridership
- 25 – Troost Local, 1,431 average weekend ridership
- 27 – 27th Street, 455 average weekend ridership
- 57 – Wornall, 595 average weekend ridership
- 71 – Prospect Local, 982 average weekend ridership
Bus fares came back earlier this summer to offset some of the operation costs, but many have reported issues with the free fare cards and eligibility.
“There’s always funding challenges with the KCATA,” Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas said. “How are the fare re-institutions working right now?”
Brian Luton
Mayor Lucas told KSHB 41 News Reporter Isabella Ledonne the transit improvements implemented for the World Cup “should continue,” and there are plans to talk with the KCATA commissioners to “make it work”.
“KCATA cannot just be Kansas City supported alone forever,” Mayor Lucas said. “Our approach and our preference is that the region got to see how much they would like [expanded service] during the World Cup. It was always intentional that if they liked it, maybe they would invest and maybe they would want this thing to go further.”
That’s good news to the thousands of daily riders.
Brian Luton
“I think it’s good because it helps people get around if they need to get around,” Jackson said.
The KCATA did not make themselves available for an interview.
