Here’s the updated scoring and shooting splits for Iowa.

Hawkeyes lead 61-46 with 4:56 to play in the third quarter.

If you’re curious why ESPN’s box score for Iowa doesn’t make sense with the score, it’s because Live Stats are down here in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

It’s slowly updating, but way behind.

Today's starters for the Hawkeyes and Lions.

Cool moment pregame where Iowa senior Hannah Stuelke hugs her aunt, who did a great job performing the national anthem for today’s game.

📍 Carver-Hawkeye Arena

Iowa (9-1) hosts Ohio Valley Conference preseason favorite Lindenwood (7-2) in the final home game of the non-conference slate!

It’s a small but mighty crowd today who braved the snow to cheer on the #Hawkeyes.

Follow for updates!

Iowa sophomore Emely Rodriguez remains out.

She last played in Iowa’s win over Miami three weeks ago.

HC Jan Jensen continues to describe the absence as “day-to-day.”

Despite being out the next 3 months, Iowa’s Jada Gyamfi remains a fixture of the program’s starting lineup handshake routine.

Tonight's starters for a CyHawk battle of unbeatens!
December 10, 2025 at 11:44 PM
She also said: "Emely is still definitely day-to-day, just real ginger with that injury."
December 10, 2025 at 11:44 PM
No Emely Rodriguez or Jada Gyamfi for Iowa women’s basketball tonight against No. 10 Iowa State.

Teagan Mallegni and Chazadi “Chit-Chat” Wright will be available for the #Hawkeyes in the battle of unbeaten teams.
December 10, 2025 at 10:24 PM
Bettendorf LB Gavin Stecker becomes the first commitment to Iowa in the 2027 recruiting class.

A composite 4-star prospect, Stecker racked up 77 total tackles (48 solo), 7 tackles for loss (2.5 sacks) and 2 fumble recoveries.

Offers: Iowa State, Kansas State, Minnesota, Kansas

Here are the starters for No. 12 Iowa (8-0) vs. Rutgers (7-2) as the women get their first look at a Big Ten foe this season.

Awesome to see Chit-Chat right back in the starting lineup.

Moment of silence for this rim
December 6, 2025 at 10:49 PM
Chazadi "Chit-Chat" Wright will return against Rutgers tonight.

Emely Rodriguez & Teagan Mallegni (day-to-day) are out.

Jada Gyamfi will miss the next 3 months.

It’s no women’s hoops crowd, but the photo you’re quoting is from 25 mins before tip.

It’s filled in more since my original picture.
December 6, 2025 at 9:00 PM
Starting lineup V2 is starting to look like the preferred five for Iowa HC Ben McCollum.

He initially opted for Kael Combs over Isaia Howard against Chicago State to get another ball-handler on the floor against the Cougars press. It's been the starting five for each game since.

📍 Carver-Hawkeye Arena

Iowa (7-1, 0-1 Big Ten) hosts Maryland (6-3, 0-0 Big Ten) in the #Hawkeyes second of two December conference games.

For the Terps, it’s their Big Ten opener.

Iowa lost to Michigan State 71-52 earlier this week to open league play 0-1.
December 6, 2025 at 8:40 PM
Trey Thompson is out for Iowa in today's Big Ten matchup against Maryland. Seems thing headed for a redshirt for Thompson, who has yet to appear after enrolling early.

The Terps are without Rakease Passmore, who suffered a season-ending injury during preseason.
December 6, 2025 at 8:37 PM
Iowa offers DeSoto HS (TX) 2027 RB SaRod Baker.

The 5-foot-9, 185-pound prospect holds offers from Minnesota, New Mexico State, San Diego State, Texas State, UNLV, UTEP, Sac State & SFA.

He rushed for 1,960 yards and 29 TDs on 226 attempts as a junior. Added 154 & 2 receiving.

HALF | Iowa 21, Michigan State 35

The Hawkeyes had scoring droughts of 6:03 and 3:42 during the first half and seemed lifeless until Brendan Hausen provided some juice with 7 points in six minutes.

McCollum & Co. failed to hit 30 points in the first half 7 times last year👇
December 3, 2025 at 12:53 AM
Iowa (7-0) sticks with starting lineup V2 against No. 7 Michigan State (7-0).

The Ben McCollum era gets its biggest test yet in a couple of minutes!
December 2, 2025 at 11:58 PM
"It was a full 180 from my original plan.”

Iowa's Claire Ammeraal planned to finish out school next semester and become a medical assistant for a year before applying to medical school.

Then, the Omaha Supernovas selected her with the 22nd overall pick in last week's MLV Draft.
