CRUCIAL CONFERENCE MATCHUPS HIGHLIGHT BIG TEN WOMEN’S BASKETBALL ON PEACOCK
Last season, the Big Ten had five teams ranked in the season-ending AP Top 25 poll – the second-most of any conference – including: No. 2 Indiana, No. 3 Iowa, No. 7 Maryland, No. 12 Ohio State, and No. 18 Michigan. Each of these schools will make multiple appearances exclusively on Peacock this season, including eight head-to-head matchups.
The Big Ten sent a record-tying seven schools to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament last season, including three to the NCAA Elite Eight.
The Peacock schedule tips off on Tuesday, Jan. 2, at 9 p.m. ET as Clark and Iowa, who reached the NCAA Women’s Tournament Finals last season before falling to LSU, host Michigan State from Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
On Sun., Jan. 21, Iowa visits Ohio State at Noon ET in a game which will be presented live on both Peacock and NBC.
In a matchup of the Big Ten’s top two regular-season teams last season, Indiana hosts Iowa on Feb. 22 live on Peacock. In last year’s final meeting between the schools (Feb. 26, 2023), Clark led the Hawkeyes to a dramatic one-point win, 86-85, hitting a game-winning buzzer-beating three-pointer.
Games featuring Top 25 teams in last season’s year-end AP poll also include: Ohio State at Maryland (Jan. 17), Indiana at Maryland (Jan. 31), Michigan at Iowa (Feb. 15), Michigan at Ohio State (Feb. 28), and Maryland at Indiana (Mar. 3).
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Clark returns to the Hawkeyes after being named the Women’s College Player of the Year, the Big Ten Player of the Year, and a unanimous AP First-Team All-America selection as a junior, averaging 27.3 points, 8.6 assists, and 7.1 rebounds per game last season.
En route to leading Iowa to the NCAA Tournament Finals, Clark became the first player in Division I women’s basketball history to record more than 1,000 points and 300 assists in the same season. Clarks enters this season with 11 career triple-doubles, second-most all-time (Sabrina Ionescu, 26).
Indiana forward Mackenzie Holmes, the 2022-23 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, joins Clark as returning AP First-Team All-Americans after averaging a team-high 22.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game for the Hoosiers last season.
Big Ten Freshman of the Year Cotie McMahon returns to Ohio State to lead a Buckeyes team that advanced to the Elite Eight as a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Women’s Tournament last season.
