The Iowa women's basketball is in the midst of their toughest stretch in several seasons, currently enduring their first three-game losing streak since 2018. As exciting as it was to appear in back-to-back national championship games was, the success means that this year's roster, even with some experienced players, has never gone through an extended tough stretch.
