Iowa’s next game: Michigan State (home), 7 p.m. Sunday.

What to know: This is only the third meeting between the still-new Big Ten rivals. Oregon prevailed last year, 50-49, in Eugene, the last of a five-game mid-January Iowa losing streak.

The Ducks, along with Nebraska (an 86-76 Iowa win on Jan. 1), represent the Hawkeyes’ toughest Big Ten challenges to date. The competition level cranks up significantly — with five consecutive ranked foes — Sunday at home against Michigan State.

Iowa rallied from a 16-point halftime deficit to escape Indiana, 56-53, Sunday at Bloomington. Ava Heiden and Chit-Chat Wright registered 13 points apiece, and Hannah Stuelke added 12 points and 12 rebounds.

Heiden leads the Hawkeyes at 16.0 points per game and is shooting 63.0 percent from the floor. Stuelke scores at a 13.5-point rate; Wright 13.1.

Sunday also marked the return of Kylie Feuerbach from an ankle injury. Feuerbach helped slow Indiana’s Shay Ciezki in the second half as Iowa rallied.

Oregon’s Katie Fiso is second in the Big Ten in assists per game, at 7.2. A 5-foot-11 sophomore guard, Fiso also leads the Ducks in scoring at 15.5 ppg.
