Iowa women's basketball stunned Ohio State with a 91-70 victory, shooting 71.4% in a dominant first quarter.

The episode opens with hosts Tom Kakert and Kyle Huesmann reacting to Iowa's 91-70 win over Ohio State, noting the surprising margin of victory. They highlight Iowa shooting 71.4% in the first quarter and going on a 22-6 run. The discussion turns to individual performances: Hannah Stuelke had 18 points and 15 rebounds, Addie Deal scored 20 points off the bench, and Caitlin Clark made 4 of 6 three-pointers. The hosts then address Taylor McCabe's non-contact knee injury just 23 seconds into the game, with an MRI scheduled that night. They speculate about the severity based on how she was carried off and coach Jan Jensen's post-game comments. The conversation shifts to how Addie Deal might replace McCabe in the starting lineup and the need for increased minutes from Taylor Stremlow and Kylie Feuerbach. A tweet from McCabe reveals her sister Peyton also suffered a severe injury playing for Drake the same day. The hosts analyze Iowa's statistical dominance: 48-30 rebounding edge, 42-14 points in the paint advantage, and only 15 turnovers against Ohio State's press. They discuss the team's resilience through various injuries this season, noting an 8-1 record in close games compared to 5-10 last year. Looking ahead, they preview Iowa's road trip to USC and UCLA, calling USC a potential trap game and expecting a loss at UCLA. The episode concludes with brief mentions of upcoming podcasts with baseball coach Rick Heller and the football schedule release.
