There were plenty of emotions and potential distractions for the Iowa women’s basketball team on Sunday as they faced Ohio State in a revenge spot for the Hawkeyes. That included having ESPN College Game Day in the building and a bunch of celebrities and women’s basketball royalty.

Following the win, Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder and star post player Hannah Stuelke met with the media to discuss the convincing win over the Buckeyes. How important was Iowa’s spurt at the end of the half to their victory? How did they avoid all the potential distractions? Bluder also updates the health of guard Molly Davis, who was injured in the second quarter of the game.
