Peacock offers multiple sports coverage of select games and events, including men’s and women’s college basketball, Premier League soccer, PGA Tour and more starting at $7.99 a month.
UCLA (25-1, 13-1 Big Ten) enters this game having won two straight after USC ended its 23-game winning streak on Feb. 13. The loss knocked the Bruins down to No. 3 after spending most of the season atop the AP rankings.
The team is led by the dynamic duo of center Lauren Betts, who averages 19.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game; and guard Kiki Rice, who contributes 13.0 points and 4.5 assists. Head coach Cori Close has the Bruins getting it done on both ends of the floor, as the team scores 79.2 points a game while giving up only 55.8.
On the other end of the court, Iowa (18-8, 8-7 Big Ten) has played solid basketball despite losing superstar Caitlin Clark to the WNBA and head coach Lisa Bluder to retirement. The Hawkeyes have won 6 of their last 7 games, including a stunning upset of No. 4 USC on Feb. 2.
The team is led by Villanova transfer Lucy Olsen (17.8 PPG) along with a trio of key contributors from last season’s national runner-up squad in forwards Hannah Stuelke (12.8 PPG) and Addison O’Grady (10.8 PPG), and sharpshooting guard Sydney Affolter (42.6% 3PT).
And despite their loss to No. 8 Ohio State earlier this week, head coach Jan Jensen’s Hawkeyes still have a decent shot at making the NCAA Tournament for the seventh straight season.
