IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa women’s basketball team will play in front of a nationally televised audience 10 times in 2022-23 season.
ESPN2 will carry four or five Iowa games this season, including potential early-season top-10 home showdowns against North Carolina State (Dec. 1, 7:30 p.m.) and Iowa State (Dec. 8, 6 p.m.).
The Hawkeyes’ second-round game of the Phil Knight Legacy Tournament (Nov. 27 against Duke or Connecticut in Portland, Ore.) will be carried by ABC or ESPN2.
Cedar Rapids native Brenda Frese will bring her Maryland club to Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Feb. 2, and ESPN will televise that game at 7:30 p.m.
Two games will be on FOX: at Michigan (Jan. 7, 3:30 p.m.) and home against Nebraska (Jan. 28, 11 a.m.), with a home encounter with Rutgers (Feb. 12, 2 p.m.) on FS1.
In addition, eight games will be televised by Big Ten Network.
Iowa was 24-8 last season, shared the Big Ten regular-season title and won the Big Ten tournament. The Hawkeyes advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament before suffering an upset loss to Creighton.
All five starters are back, including All-Americans Caitlin Clark and Monika Czinano.
