Iowa's women's basketball team, under new head coach Jan Jensen, is navigating the challenges of a transitional season. After a difficult start in the Big Ten and the departure of key players following their championship run, Jensen draws inspiration from swimmer Florence Chadwick's story of perseverance. Despite the hurdles, the team quickly sold out season tickets, indicating strong community support. Jensen's approach combines honoring past successes while adapting to a new team dynamic, emphasizing resilience and focus in a demanding environment.
In April, the Hawkeyes made their second consecutive national championship game appearance on the backs of Caitlin Clark and a veteran core that mostly departed after the title game.
Jensen must honor the recent history but not dwell in the past as she faces the unique challenge of coaching a drastically changed team roster.
