A pair of top 25-ranked in-state rivals collide on Wednesday night as the No. 18 Iowa State Cyclones visit the No. 21 Iowa Hawkeyes.
Iowa is figuring out its identity in the post-Caitlin Clark era, and they have a new coach in Jan Jensen after the retirement of longtime coach Lisa Bluder after last season. Early returns are positive, as the Hawkeyes are 8-1, but they have yet to play a ranked opponent before this game.
The Cyclones are going through much less change than their in-state rivals, and Iowa State has an 8-2 record entering this matchup. They lost their one game against a ranked opponent so far this season, which was a 76-36 blowout defeat to then-No. 4 South Carolina, and their other loss was by an 87-75 score on the road against Northern Iowa.
Iowa State vs. Iowa will be broadcast on FOX Sports 1, which can be viewed through cable TV or streamed via live TV streaming apps such as YouTubeTV or FuboTV.
Iowa State vs. Iowa is scheduled to tip off at 9 PM ET/8 PM CT/6 PM PT on Wednesday, December 11 with the game taking place at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa.
Iowa State: Emily Ryan, Mackenzie Hare, Arianna Jackson, Addy Brown, Audi Crooks
