BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana women's basketball will be featured on ESPN College GameDay covered by State Farm in its regular season finale versus No. 7 Iowa on Sunday, Feb. 26.

The broadcast will air live from Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET. Ellie Duncan will host the show with commentators Andraya Carter, Rebecca Lobo, Carolyn Peck and Holly Rowe.

During the 10-11 a.m. window, Duncan will report live for ESPN SportsCenter. At 2 p.m., No. 2 Indiana will face off against Iowa.

The Hoosiers have already seen the Hawkeyes once this season as Indiana shut them down 87-78 inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Feb. 9. Iowa's Caitlin Clark dropped 35 points, but Hoosier forward Mackenzie Holmes and guard Grace Berger combined for 50 to secure the victory.

Berger said she remembers losing to Iowa last season — twice in the regular season and once in the Big Ten tournament championship — and that loss kind of stuck with her.

Clark said she wasn't rattled by Indiana's 13,000+ crowd, and she expects even more fans to come when the Hoosiers visit Iowa City.

Since the Hoosiers' victory over Iowa, they have also beaten No. 13 Ohio State at home for their eighth win over a ranked opponent this season. Indiana will face No. 12 Michigan Thursday night and then Purdue on Sunday before their last road and regular season game at Iowa.

Iowa has since defeated both Rutgers and Wisconsin at home since its loss and will go on a two-game road stretch versus Nebraska and Maryland before welcoming Indiana.
