An Amazing Run For The Iowa Hawkeye Women's Basketball Team
Iowa had a great regular season finishing as the runner-up in the Big Ten with a 15-3 record. The Hawkeyes then won the Big Ten Conference Tournament title for the second consecutive season.
Iowa earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and would advance to their first Final Four since 1993.
In the national semifinals, Iowa knocked off defending champion, and previously undefeated South Carolina, before a sellout crowd in Dallas to advance to their first-ever national championship.
Caitlin Clark had sports fans and stars from all walks of life talking about her performance including LeBron James, John Cena, and Magic Johnson. She was the first player in Men's or Women's tournament history to record a 40-point triple-double. She scored 41 points to set the record for the highest-scoring NCAA Tournament semifinal.
Facing another SEC team in the final, Iowa’s magical run fell short in a controversial loss to third-seeded LSU.

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled an officially licensed, limited-edition bobblehead to commemorate the Iowa Hawkeyes Women’s Basketball Team’s historic 2022-23 season.
