This past week re-affirmed Iowa women's basketball can hang with anyone, while re-emphasizing the cleaner execution needed to make them stick.

In a high-energy Sunday afternoon atmosphere inside a sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Iowa women's basketball (19-9, 8-8) dropped a nailbiting 67-65 defeat vs. No. 3-ranked UCLA (26-1, 14-1), creating a two-game skid with two games remaining on the regular season.

While there were several extremely thrilling women's college basketball games that occurred on February 23, perhaps the most captivating was the showdown between the UCLA Bruins and the Iowa Hawkeyes that took place in Iowa's Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
