Today is a big day for the women’s basketball team. A 24-hour ESPN college basketball marathon will feature the Jayhawks (1-0) as they face the Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0) today at 11 a.m. The game is the only women’s matchup that will be featured on the marathon.
“It is different, but it’s also exciting,” junior forward Porscha Weddington said. “We’ve never had a game at 11 a.m. We’re really hoping people will come.”
Kansas comes off an impressive 106-64 victory against Sacred Heart and now faces a tough Iowa team. Last season the Hawkeyes tied Ohio State for the Big 10 title and obtained a spot in the NCAA tournament.
Kansas looked strong during its last outing as junior guard Danielle McCray led the Jayhawks in scoring and tied her career-best 29 points. She, along with five other Jayhawks, scored in double figures against Sacred Heart.
Since Kansas and Iowa’s first meeting in 1988, the series has been even, with each team coming out victorious two times. The last time the teams met in November 2006, the Hawkeyes came out on top with a 63-49 victory.
The college basketball coverage, which started at 11 p.m. last night, will showcase some of the nation’s top teams from 14 conferences on all four ESPN stations. In addition to the lady Jayhawks, the Kansas men’s basketball team will be featured at 8 p.m. on ESPNU in the game against Florida Gulf Coast.
