Iowa HC Ben McCollum starts his presser by thanking the fans.

Then, addresses the Hawkeyes performance …

“Disappointed in us”

FINAL | Purdue 78, Iowa 57

Only Bennett Stirtz (19) scores in double figures for Iowa in a game which go ugly early.

CJ Cox (14), Gicarri Harris (14), Fletcher Loyer (12) and Trey Kaufman-Renn (12) reach double digits for Purdue.

Nebraska up next.

HALF | Purdue 36, Iowa 25

Iowa missed out on a real opportunity to cut into that lead.

They held Purdue to one field goal over the final 5:30 of action, but went scoreless over the final 2:35 to head to the locker room down 11.
February 14, 2026 at 10:58 PM
H1 3:48 | Purdue 32, Iowa 22

The Hawkeyes are making offense look tough. They're 7-of-24 (29.2%) from the field and 2-of-12 (16.7%) from three.

A 6-2 free throw made advantage is about the only thing keeping this one close.

Cam Manyawu gets pulled back to the bench. Folgueiras stays in the game.

H1 12:20 | Purdue 15, Iowa 7

Boilermakers get the last eight points to break a 7-7 tie.

Last five came off a dunk + Tate Sage foul that led to a missed free throw, offensive rebound and a Purdue triple.

McCollum takes a timeout.

H1 15:11 | Purdue 7, Iowa 7

The Hawkeyes are just 2-of-6 to start but have already gotten to the free throw line five times.

That's a part of the game that killed them in West Lafayette.

Hasn't been much to cheer about yet, but a Tavion Banks and-one gets Iowa into the lead and Carver-Hawkeye Arena on its feet.

That is just devastating news. Only 19 and have that happen. Just awful. 😢

FINAL | Iowa 65, Washington 56

The Iowa women overcome a slow start to top No. 25 Washington and break out of a three-game losing skid.

Chazadi "Chit-Chat" Wright and Hannah Stuelke starred for the #Hawkeyes in the win.
February 12, 2026 at 2:19 AM
Kylie Feuerbach chose a good time to hit her first three-pointer in the month of February.

Iowa leads 65-56 with 23 seconds to play.

There’s a bold proclamation from Iowa softball head coach Stacy May-Johnson.

“I think this team is going to make people love Iowa softball again.”

HALF | Washington 30, Iowa 36

Iowa holds the Huskies to 5 points in the second quarter and manages to take a 6-point lead into the locker room.

Wright (12) and Stuelke (11) did most of the damage for the #Hawkeyes in the first half.
February 12, 2026 at 1:12 AM
Q2 4:57 | Washington 25, Iowa 30

Washington burns a timeout as Iowa starts to show some defensive intensity.

It's an 11-0 run for the Hawkeyes, who have not allowed a point in the second quarter.

Chit-Chat up to 12 points.

Could a little green man from Mars discern the rules of basketball by exclusively watching a Big Ten officiating crew ...

END Q1 | Washington 25, Iowa 19

I'm going to wager a guess that allowing Washington to shoot 12-of-17 and get 20 points in the paint was not the defensive intensity that Jan Jensen hoped to see.

Hawkeyes trail by 6 after one.
February 12, 2026 at 12:49 AM
Plenty of offense early in this one, Washington leads 14-13 while shooting 6-of-11 (54.5%) from the field. Iowa is 6-of-8 (75%) from the field to start.

Each team has three turnovers.
February 12, 2026 at 12:41 AM
Addie Deal set to check in.
February 12, 2026 at 12:36 AM
Three possessions three turnovers for Washington.
February 12, 2026 at 12:34 AM
Reminder: Jan Jensen wants to see "defensive intensity" early in today's matchup with the Huskies.
