Penn State's recent performance has been nothing short of spectacular. In their last game on March 7th, they displayed an offensive masterclass against the Wisconsin Badgers with an impressive 80 points to Wisconsin's 56. The Lady Lions dominated every quarter, showcasing their prowess with a field goal percentage of 49 and a remarkable free throw percentage of 91. Their defensive game was equally strong; they out-rebounded their opponents by a significant margin with 44 total rebounds and maintained an assist-turnover ratio of 2.0.


Another notable performance came during their match-up against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on March 3rd, where PSU emerged victorious with an overwhelming scoreline of 90-34. Their shooting was exceptional; they hit three-point shots at a rate of 45 percent and maintained an astounding two-point field goal percentage of 75 percent.

PSU's encounter with Purdue Boilermakers on February 29th further solidified their status as contenders when they secured a win scoring an impressive total of 93 points to Purdue's close but not enough tally of 88 points in West Lafayette. The Lady Lions showcased their ability to maintain composure under pressure with nine times tied and eight lead changes throughout the game.


The Iowa Hawkeyes will undoubtedly be formidable opponents; however, based on recent performances, it is clear that PSU has momentum on its side. With consistent scoring across all quarters in past games and high percentages from both inside and outside the paint, PSU seems poised to take control once again.
