Women’s basketball: Molly Davis’ contribution level has risen in her final season at Iowa, and it was never more clear than it was during a pivotal sequence Saturday against Indiana.

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark needs 253 points to supplant Kelsey Plum as the all-time NCAA Division-I women’s basketball scorer later this season.

Caitlin Clark scored 30 points, Molly Davis was a more-than-competent complementary piece, and third-ranked Iowa toasted No. 14 Indiana, 84-57, in a Big Ten women’s basketball showdown before a paid crowd of 14,998 (and an actual crowd of darn close to that) Saturday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Time, TV and notes for Saturday’s women’s basketball game between No. 3 Iowa and No. 14 Indiana.

Third-ranked Iowa is scheduled to host No. 14 Indiana in a much-awaited Big Ten women’s basketball showdown at 7 p.m. Saturday. That’s assuming the Hoosiers can make it here. And at this point, that’s a heavy assumption.

Lena Evans drilled a tie-breaking 3-pointer — her fifth deep shot of the game — with 9 seconds left to lift Class 4A second-ranked Clear Creek Amana past 3A No. 2 Mount Vernon, 50-47, in a Wamac Conference cross-divisional girls’ basketball dandy Thursday night at Mount Vernon High School.

The Call It Both Ways podcast is snowed in for the time being, but has a few topics to discuss despite the lack of games. Those include a look at the Cedar Rapids Washington girls, Lansing Kee boys and other teams on the rise, takeaways from last Saturday’s MVC-CIML Shootout and revisiting conference realignment possibilities.

Iowa women’s basketball signee Aaliyah Guyton has torn her ACL and miss the rest of her senior season at Peoria (Ill.) according to The Peoria Journal Star.

Caitlin Clark needs 283 points to supplant Kelsey Plum as the all-time NCAA Division-I women’s basketball scorer later this season.

Women’s basketball: No. 3 Iowa earns its largest victory ever at Purdue, 96-71, behind Caitlin Clark’s second consecutive triple-double.

Girls’ basketball Super Ten: The first one after the holidays has the same top six as previously, led by Clear Creek Amana.

Time, TV and notes for Wednesday’s women’s basketball game between No. 3 Iowa and Purdue.

It’s a good time for an Iowa women’s basketball-focused episode of the Hawk Off The Press podcast, with No. 14 Indiana coming to Iowa City for a Saturday night showdown this week (first, of course, the third-ranked Hawkeyes travel to Purdue on Wednesday).
