The Iowa Hawkeyes achieved a significant upset by defeating No. 4 USC Trojans 76-69, snapping USC's 15-game winning streak. The victory was especially poignant as it coincided with the retirement ceremony of Caitlin Clark's jersey, which energized the sellout crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa opened the game with an impressive 18-1 run, though USC fought back to take a halftime lead. In the fourth quarter, Iowa's Lucy Olsen shone, scoring crucial points to help secure the win. Olsen led the Hawkeyes with 28 points, supported by Addison O'Grady with 13, while JuJu Watkins scored 27 for USC. This win improves Iowa's record to 15-7, boosting their hopes for an NCAA Tournament bid.
