DALLAS — Iowa Athletics will hold a watch party for Sunday’s women’s basketball national championship at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the department announced Saturday.

Doors will open at 1:30 p.m. ahead of the 2:30 tipoff between Iowa and LSU — the first national championship game appearance for the Hawkeyes in program history.

Admission is free. The same clear-bag policy that’s in place for home games at Carver-Hawkeye Arena will be in place for the watch party.

Iowa was supposed to hold a watch party for Friday’s Final Four game as well, but severe weather led to its cancellation.
