Jan Jensen's Hawkeyes earn high praise even in defeat
IOWA CITY, Iowa – The Iowa women’s basketball team, which has finished as the NCAA runner-up in each of the past two seasons, is way above earning or needing moral victories.
But it’s not above earning praise, even after a gut-wrenching loss.
Iowa fell short against third-ranked UCLA on Sunday, losing 67-65 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, but Jan Jensen’s squad showed once again that it can compete with the best teams in the country.
Of course, that doesn’t change the fact that Iowa is now 8-8 in Big Ten play and likely headed to a lower division finish in conference play with just two games left at Michigan on Wednesday and at home against Wisconsin next Sunday.
