A Milestone Matchup
Iowa and UConn have announced a home-and-home women's basketball series that will begin next season, marking a rare meeting between two of the nation's most successful programs.
The first contest is scheduled for November 8, 2024, when the Hawkeyes travel to Connecticut to face the Huskies at the University of Connecticut's home venue in Storrs.
The reverse fixture will take place during the 2027‑28 season at Carver‑Hawkeye Arena in Iowa, with the exact date to be announced later.
UConn holds a 7‑4 advantage in the all‑time series, having won seven of the eleven meetings while Iowa has secured four victories.
Both teams arrive in strong form; UConn reached the NCAA Final Four last season before falling to South Carolina, while Iowa's campaign ended in the second round after a loss to Virginia.
The matchups will showcase standout talent, including Iowa's Gabbie Marshall and UConn's Aaliyah Edwards, who are expected to play pivotal roles.
Fans on both coasts are already marking their calendars, anticipating a high‑profile clash that could influence early‑season rankings and provide a marquee showcase for women's college basketball.
