Didn't recall the name Petty from last year for OSU ... yep, she's a transfer. They got another pretty good one apparently in Chance Gray from Oregon.

I'm down with Iowa getting flashy transfers, but not so much for everyone else 🙆‍♂️.

No. 3 scorer in the nation not flashy enough for you?

Team players of the week goes to none other than...

Iowa's 8-0 start lands the Hawkeyes as women's college basketball's team of the week

"NCAA.com team of the week, Iowa finished 8-0 in November, serving notice that the Hawkeyes will continue to flourish even after the departure of college basketball’s all-time leading scorer in Caitlin Clark and after the retirement of legendary head coach Lisa Bluder."

"First-year Iowa head coach Jan Jensen became the first coach in Iowa women’s basketball history to begin her tenure 8-0."

Iowa's 8-0 start lands the Hawkeyes as women's college basketball's team of the week

Iowa women's basketball's 8-0 start is the fourth-best start in program history.

What's glaring omitted in the last two wins (past week) that it was accomplished without top scorer and assist leader Lucy Olsen. Plus, two very rusty and/or less practiced frosh PG subs had taken her place to do it.
