Iowa women's basketball vs. FDU prediction
While a first-round loss would be truly shocking, a herky-jerky start from the Hawkeyes really wouldn't be. With numerous young players trying to re-establish a shooting groove after 13 days since last playing, early seesawing action shouldn't be overly concerning.
That said, it's imperative Iowa doesn't get rattled if such a scenario materializes. Remember, outside of Hannah Stuelke and Kylie Feuerbach, shouldering these lofty expectations while trying to execute them on a grand stage like sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena is a new experience for everyone else involved.
After needing a quarter to warm up, Iowa will overwhelms the Knights as predicted and roll into the second round.
Iowa 82, FDU 52
