Players To Watch
Iowa’s top newcomer averaged 17.8 points per game at Georgia last season and started all 32 games. Dani Carnegie has 33 points through two games with the Hawkeyes, including 21 against Towson.
She made 35.4 percent of her 3-point attempts at Georgia and averaged 5.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists, but she is 5-of-17 from 3-point range so far for Iowa. Her shot count against UConn’s pressure is the thing to watch.
Ava Heiden shot 64.1 percent from the field for Iowa last season while averaging 18 points and 7.2 rebounds. The 6-foot-4 center is 10-of-12 from the field through two games this season.
Heiden gives Iowa a size edge inside against a UConn frontcourt led by 6-foot-2 Sarah Strong. She started all 34 games last season and scored as many as 29 points, against FDU in the NCAA Tournament. Her post touches are the matchup to watch.
Allie Ziebell made 41.1 percent of her 3-point attempts for UConn last season and scored as many as 34 points in a game. The 6-foot guard averaged 7.2 points in 18 minutes per game.
UConn lost sharpshooter Azzi Fudd, the No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, so Ziebell’s shooting matters more this season. She started only two of 39 games last season and has come off the bench in both games this season, going 1-of-7 from 3-point range. Count her 3-point attempts against Iowa.
UConn’s star forward averaged 18.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists last season and won national player of the year honors. Sarah Strong shot 58.2 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from 3-point range.
Strong has 32 points through two games, including 19 on 8-of-14 shooting against Cornell, and scored as many as 29 in a game last season. Watch who Iowa assigns to guard her.
