The two-day attendance total at Carver-Hawkeye for the NCAA women's tournament was 28,764, the largest attendance figure among the 16 host sites and is tied for the fourth-highest first/second round total in tournament history. Iowa had the same attendance figure in '18 and '22

I lost one of my best friends yesterday. I can’t even begin to count the games we covered together, but I know we had about a thousand inside jokes and a million laughs to go with them. And we never found a bad restaurant on the road. Rest easy.
Words are difficult to find this morning. Steve Batterson, a sports reporter at the Quad-City Times for 38+ years, died Tuesday afternoon. He was a consummate pro, a workhorse, a great teammate and such a kind-hearted man. He loved his job and did it very well. Rest easy, Batts.

This has been a masterful coaching job. Everyone wanted Lisa Bluder to go portal hunting after last season. She stuck with who she had, and it paid off.
Lisa Bluder: "Everybody at the beginning of the year kept saying, oh, Iowa lost so much. They lost all this offense and two starters. Everybody kept focusing on that. And we kept focusing on what we had."

I'm not even going to try to guess what Gary Barta was thinking here. "Hey, our basketball team is 6-0 and ranked No. 14. Oh, Thursday is a media availability day right before the Big Ten opener? Let's make the players and the coach answer to what are 'ongoing tensions.'"
