Shiv Telegram Media: Iowa dominates Indiana in Big 10 womens basketball showdown

In a highly anticipated Big Ten matchup, the No. 13 ranked Indiana women’s basketball team suffered a devastating loss to the No. 3 ranked Iowa team. The loss extends Iowa’s winning streak to 14 games, keeping them undefeated in the Big Ten and improving their overall record to an impressive 17-1.

On the other hand, Indiana’s record falls to 14-2 on the season, with a 5-1 record in Big Ten play. Indiana coach Teri Moren credited Iowa’s exceptional performance, expressing disappointment in her team’s own performance.

One of the standout players of the game was Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, who dominated despite Indiana’s efforts to contain her. Clark notched an impressive 30 points and also recorded a double-double with 10 assists. She proved to be a major threat on the court.

Another player who shined for Iowa was Molly Davis, scoring 18 points and contributing to Indiana’s defensive struggles. Indiana struggled with turnovers throughout the game, committing a total of 13 turnovers, which is more than their season average. These turnovers proved to be costly for Indiana, as Iowa capitalized on the opportunities to score.

Yarden Garzon, in particular, struggled with turnovers and an overall poor performance, leaving a significant impact on the game. Indiana’s shooting from beyond the arc also failed to match Iowa’s success. Clark and Gabbie Marshall led Iowa’s impressive 3-point shooting, while Indiana’s shooters struggled to find their rhythm.

Coach Moren acknowledged the team’s shooting struggles and lack of offensive organization during the game. It was clear that Indiana had a lot of areas to improve upon if they wanted to compete at the same level as Iowa.

Overall, it was a disappointing loss for Indiana against a strong Iowa team. They will need to regroup and refocus in order to bounce back in their next game.
