The Iowa women are decided underdogs as they get ready to take on mighty South Carolina tonight (Friday night) at the Final Four in Dallas. The Hawkeyes are 30-6 and making their first appearance in the national semifinals since 1993 while the top ranked and defending champion Gamecocks are 36-0. Iowa coach Lisa Bluder.
National player of the year Caitlin Clark is averaging better than 30 points per game in the NCAA Tournament but Bluder says balance will be a key.
The game features the last two players of the year in Clark and South Carolina center Aliya Boston.
Bluder hopes a banner year for the Big Ten has prepared them for this challenge.
Clark was asked about ticket prices being higher on the secondary market in Dallas than for the men’s Final Four in Houston.
Clark says the Hawkeyes know they face a big challenge.
It will be an Iowa offense that averages more than 87 points per game against a South Carolina defense that gives up just over 51 points per contest.
Iowa center Monika Czinano will need to be effective against a talented and deep South Carolina front line.
South Carolina center Aliyah Boston says it is a game many wanted to see happen.

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa’s top Republicans are denouncing the indictment of former President Donald Trump. Governor Kim Reynolds says it’s a sham. Governor Reynolds says Trump’s indictment is an assault on democracy, using government power to go after a political opponent. Reynolds says it isn’t normal, it isn’t justice and it’s not what America stands for.
Senator Chuck Grassley says the case against Trump is weak and the indictment is an alarming example of the politicization of the state and federal justice system.
Senator Joni Ernst says the district attorney who’s prosecuting the case has been fixated on going after the former president while crime in New York City runs rampant.
Congresswoman Ashley Hinson of Marion says the indictment is politically motivated, wrong and dangerous. The other three Iowa Republicans serving in the U.S. House have not issued statements about the case.
Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird tweeted last (Thursday) night that politics don’t belong in prosecutions, but she did not directly mention Trump’s indictment.

AMES, Iowa – Ashley Joens made it three-for-three on making the major women’s basketball All-America teams for a second straight season, as the Iowa State star was named to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-America Team on Thursday.
Joens made the 10-person team for the second-straight season, becoming the first player in ISU history to make the WBCA All-America squad multiple times. She earned four All-America nods from the WBCA in her career, adding honorable mention honors in 2019-20 and 2020-21 in addition to the past two seasons.
