Wisconsin vs. Iowa Women: How to watch, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

Iowa has fared reasonably well in its first season without superstar guard and two-time reigning Wooden Award winner Caitlin Clark. The Hawkeyes were in the top-25 for six weeks from late November to early January, and they finished tied for eighth in the Big Ten with a winning record in the conference.

Wisconsin has struggled for much of the year, ranking in the bottom 10 in defensive rating. That said, they've played the 23rd-toughest schedule in the nation per Sports-Reference.
