This is at least the most three-pointers (18) given up by Iowa in the last 10 season.

The next most: 16 to Oral Roberts in the 2018-19 season.

Kylie Feuerbach has double digit points (14) for the first time this season.

Deal is forcing it a little too much on offense now.

Fairfield has it back down to an 8-point Iowa lead with back-to-back Stags' threes.

Fairfield is not exactly shooting the three SUPER efficiently, but it's shooting it well enough to hang around in the fourth quarter.

It's a two-steps forward, one-step back situation for the #Hawkeyes, who now lead by 13.

END Q3 | Fairfield 45, Iowa 56

The #Hawkeyes forced five turnovers and limited the Stags to 4-of-13 from the field in the third quarter.

It wasn't pretty in the third quarter, but it was winning basketball.

Taylor McCabe is the only player in double figures with 10.

Big Ten Network: "Turn on the Ohio State--Niagara game that is 88-14 in the third quarter!"

Iowa is in the middle of a 6-0 run that has pushed their lead to 10.

It's been a steady diet of Hannah Stuelke offensively to opening the third quarter. The Cedar Rapids native ahs four points on three separate possessions.

Iowa has pushed its lead to nine early in the third quarter to force a quick timeout from Fairfield.

The #Hawkeyes have forced three Stag turnovers in a as many minutes.

HALF | Fairfield 35, Iowa 41

What a display of resilience from Addie Deal to close the first half.

She hits a deep three, gets her pocket picked, races back and blocks the layup in transition then hits the buzzer beater to close the first half.

She's arrived.

The Big Ten Network crew is spot on right now.

Iowa is letting Fairfield and the closeness of this game speed them up.

It's what they avoided against Baylor and its really killing their offense right now. They already have 9 fouls today and 5 in the second quarter.

Jan Jensen hates it and that was a horrible foul call on Ava Heiden.

The official did not see the contact and just saw the smaller body hit the floor.
November 30, 2025 at 6:37 PM
After starting 6-of-10 (including 6 straight makes) from three, Fairfield has gone just 1 of their last 9.

Iowa has taken advantage of the drought and jumped in front with a 19-5 run.

Taylor Stremlow's "almost-a-sick-highlight" mix tape would be incredible.

It's uncanny how flashy she can be and such a bummer every time a sweet pass/move doesn't end in a make.

END Q1 | Fairfield 22, Iowa 17

The Hawkeyes are trailing by five after one. They trailed by as much as 11 with just under three minutes to go, but mounted a 6-0 run to cut the gap.

Iowa is struggling to press its size advantage. HC Jan Jensen has actually shifted to a small-ball lineup.
November 30, 2025 at 6:22 PM
This crew likes to call the charge ... apparently.
November 30, 2025 at 6:19 PM
Credit Fairfield.

They're undaunted by facing the Hawkeyes right now and making it rain from the perimeter. The Stags are 6-of-10 from deep.

The #Hawkeyes have not been able to get the game back to even since falling behind. They’ve crawled within one, but the Nittany Lions have not let them any closer.

The #Hawkeyes come alive in set three and force a fourth!

Iowa jumped out to an 8-2 lead and never trailed the rest of the way.

November 30, 2025 at 1:31 AM
SET 2 | PSU 25, Iowa 21

Set two ends on a #Hawkeyes service error.

Iowa scored 6 straight points before Penn State managed to halt the run and close things up.

We’ll see if the Hawks can carry that momentum forward with their backs against the wall.
