Ohio State W vs Iowa W Preview

As Ohio State comes off a very narrow 87-84 win against Minnesota, this group will look for more with Cotie McMahon leading the way. Seeing that she is one of the nation’s top-scoring forwards, with 16.6 points per night, it should be easier for guard Jaloni Cambridge, 5 assists against Minnesota, to find her. With Ajae Petty, 6.8 rebounds every game, being a force inside, it creates a strong forward-duo.

Meanwhile, Iowa got a 12-point victory against Rutgers last time out behind 27 points from Lucy Olsen. Being this group’s main scorer, 17.4 points, and an assist machine, it has helped Sydney Affolter, 7.8 rebounds, focus on being a top-notch defensive presence. As Hannah Stuelke, 4 rebounds against Rutgers, is also a vital board-getter, they are two musts for this team to succeed.
