Iowa women start key homestand

The Iowa Hawkeye women open a three game homestand tonight with a Big Ten matchup against Indiana. The Hawks are 1-2 in the league race after losses at Penn State and Minnesota. They will host Wisconsin on Sunday. Iowa coach Lisa Bluder says the Hawks need to take advantage of the home court against two teams they beat at home last year. She says last week they could’ve pulled an upset, but didn’t, so this week they need to win to maintain their position.Bluder says to win they must cut down on turnovers. They had 29 turnovers against Minesota, 13 of which she said were passing decisions that shouldn’t have been made.Iowa is 7-7 overall.
