After sixth-seeded Iowa women's basketball (23-10, 10-8 Big Ten) dismantled No. 11 seed Murray State in Saturday's first-round contest by a score of 92-57, the Hawkeyes continue their 2025 NCAA Tournament journey with a difficult matchup today vs. No. 3 seed Oklahoma (26-7, 11-5 SEC) from the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Okla.
Iowa shredded Murray State behind a complete team effort, highlighted by a career-high performance from freshman center Ava Heiden, who posted 15 points and seven rebounds in 17 minutes off the bench. In the win, every member of the Hawkeyes' roster recorded a point, with Iowa finishing 56.2% shooting from the floor.
In Oklahoma's 81-58 first-round victory over FGCU, the Sooners dominated the Eagles behind 25 points and 18 rebounds from junior center Raegan Beers, who is the program's leading scorer, averaging 17.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game on 65% shooting from the floor.

The winner of Saturday's matchup will face either No. 2 seed UCONN (33-3, 21-0 Big East) or No. 10 seed South Dakota State (30-3, 19-0 Summit) in a regional semifinal clash on March 29 from Spokane, Wash.
