Lisa Bluder came to Iowa by way of Drake back in 2000, with assistant coaches Jan Jensen and Jenni Fitzgerald. They had a dream of one day making it the Final Four with the Hawkeyes. Fast forward to 2024 and Iowa is about to play in their second consecutive Final Four. They are just one of 11 teams since 2000 to achieve that feat. This season, the Hawkeyes defeated Holy Cross, West Virginia, Colorado and LSU en route to the Final Four in Cleveland. Up next is a matchup with Geno Auriemma and the Connecticut Huskies.

Lisa Bluder met with the media in the locker room on Thursday afternoon to discuss what challenges UConn poses, what her team needs to do on the offensive and defensive ends of the floor and much more.
