The Hoosiers suffered a tough 81-65 road loss to Iowa to move their record to 13-9 overall and 6-4 in Big Ten play. Before the game IU sat a half-game behind Iowa, who was in a three-way tie atop the Big Ten standings. The win moved Iowa's record to 8-3 in conference. Jamie Braun continued her strong play, scoring a game-high 26 points and Whitney Thomas recorded 11 points and 10 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the season. Iowa's 3-point shooting and rebounding was too much for the Hoosiers, though. The Hawkeyes shot 50% from beyond the arc, going 10-20. Iowa also grabbed 15 offensive rebounds and out-rebounded the Hoosiers 44-26. IU won't get a chance to avenge the loss to Iowa as the Hawkeyes aren't scheduled for a game in Bloomington. What do you guys think? Can the Hoosiers rebound from this missed opportunity? How do the Hoosiers stack up in the Big Ten race? We'll have more for you this week as IU prepares for a home contest against Northwestern on Thursday night.
