Hawkeye Hosts: Iowa women's basketball steady in new ESPN Bracketology

The Iowa Hawkeyes picked up a nice Big Ten road win against Northwestern that required some toughness and grit, but could serve as a turning point for this team to show they have the mental toughness to handle whatever the Big Ten throws at them.

The goal for the Hawkeyes this season is not just to return to the NCAA Women’s Tournament, something that they have become a mainstay in over the last half-decade, but to get to be a host site and do some damage advancing.
