Did Iowa women’s basketball remain in the Associated Press top 25 after Maryland loss?

Following Sunday’s loss to then-No. 7 Maryland, Iowa women’s basketball could’ve taken a tumble in the latest Associated Press top 25. However, the Hawkeyes are still ranked.

Iowa (12-3, 2-2 Big Ten Conference) remained at No. 23 after the 74-66 home loss to the Terrapins that snapped the Hawkeyes’ 21-game Big Ten home winning streak. It was a game in which Iowa fell behind by as much as 25 points before rallying to make things respectable in the second half.

Iowa will look to rebound Thursday night at Illinois. The Hawkeyes are 1-1 in conference road games, having stumbled at Michigan State in mid-December before pulling out an 80-68 win at Penn State on New Year’s Day. Tipoff at Illinois is set for 6 p.m. on BTN+.
