Iowa coach Jan Jensen details the struggles of not having her full roster on the practice floor
The Iowa women’s basketball team has some work to do to convince Associated Press poll voters that the Hawkeyes are a Top 25 team.
The AP released its preseason poll on Tuesday, and the Hawkeyes fell just short of making the Top 25. Coach Jan Jensen’s team received the most votes of teams that did not make the cut.
Jensen is embarking on her first season as head coach after a long stint as Lisa Bluder’s assistant. Bluder announced her retirement in May, not long after the Hawkeyes advanced to the NCAA championship game for the second consecutive year.
With superstar Caitlin Clark now playing in the WNBA, it seems many women’s basketball observers believe Iowa will take a step back in 2024-25. Jensen’s team will try to prove them wrong.
