Iowa All-American point guard Caitlin Clark says the Hawkeyes are embracing high expectations as they get ready for a new season. All five starters return from last year’s team that won the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles. The Hawkeyes enter the season ranked fourth in the AP Poll.

The defense was improved last year and Clark says that needs to continue.

Clark says the Hawkeyes also have quality depth and that has made practice competitive.
