Iowa won 23 of their first 24 games, with the only loss being a two-point defeat to No. 10 Colorado at the FIU Sun and Fun Classic tournament – a game in which the Hawkeyes missed 11 free throws. They owned a two-game lead in the conference standings with three games left on the regular season schedule, but due to back-to-back road losses at No. 8 Penn State and No. 4 Ohio State the Hawks settled for a share of the Big Ten title.

In the NCAA tournament, Iowa won against Old Dominion, No. 7 Auburn, and No. 2 Tennessee to reach the Final Four. In the national semifinal, No. 3 Ohio State, Iowa played and lost to the Buckeyes 73–72 in overtime. The team is recognised for its tournament performance during a season that included off-court challenges.[2]

Previous season

The Hawkeyes won the Big Ten championship with a 16–2 conference record, finishing two games ahead of second place Purdue. After reaching the NCAA tournament for the seventh consecutive season, No. 1 seed Iowa was stunned by No. 8 seed and eventual Final Four participant SW Missouri State, 61–60 in overtime,[3] in the second round of the 1992 women's NCAA basketball tournament. The team finished with an overall record of 25–4 and a No. 7 ranking in the final AP poll.
