Iowa women’s basketball (12-7, 2-6 Big Ten) will once again be without the services of their star sophomore forward, Hannah Stuelke, tonight as they visit Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle, Wash., for a clash vs. Washington (13-6, 4-3 Big Ten).
Stuelke did not travel with the Hawkeyes to Eugene, Ore., for Iowa’s Sunday evening 50-49 loss against Oregon, as the sophomore was placed in the concussion protocol following an injury sustained in their January 16 loss against Nebraska.
While there was some hope that Stuelke would be able to clear the concussion protocol in the three-day break between games, she remains unavailable for the Hawkeyes tonight per Iowa’s availability report.

Stuelke averages 12.9 points per game on 47.8% shooting from the floor and 68.1% from the charity stripe in 18 games. She also averages a team-leading 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.4 blocks per contest.
With the absence of Stuelke, Iowa will need to find scoring, rebounding and production elsewhere.
Iowa’s date at Washington can be seen on Peacock with tipoff set for 8 p.m. CT.

Iowa women’s basketball fans were disappointed to learn that star forward Lisa Jones will still be sidelined with an injury for their upcoming game against Washington. Jones, who is averaging 15 points and 8 rebounds per game this season, has been a key player for the Hawkeyes and her absence will surely be felt on the court.
Despite Jones’ injury, the team is confident in their depth and ability to step up in her absence. Head coach Lisa Bluder expressed her support for Jones and is hopeful for a speedy recovery. In the meantime, the Hawkeyes will look to other players to fill the void and continue their strong performance this season.
Fans are encouraged to show their support for Jones and the rest of the team as they take on Washington in their upcoming game. Stay tuned for updates on Jones’ status and the team’s performance as they navigate through this challenging time. #GoHawkeyes #IowaWBB #InjuryUpdate
