IOWA CITY — The first piece of Iowa's 2019-20 women's basketball scheduling puzzle has been placed.
The Hawkeyes will host Clemson as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, Dec. 4 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
It will be the first meeting between the two programs.
Iowa was 29-7 last season, won the Big Ten tournament and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. The Hawkeyes return two starters — Kathleen Doyle and Makenzie Meyer — but graduated consensus national player of the year Megan Gustafson.
Clemson was 20-13, 9-7 in the ACC. Leading scorer Kobi Thornton returns for the Tigers.
