Monika Czinano had 26 points and seven rebounds in Iowa’s rout of Ohio State in the Big Ten women’s basketball championship game.

Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark has looked over the women’s NCAA Tournament bracket, eyed the potential matchups facing her second-seeded Hawkeyes and the rest of their Big Ten brethern, and come to a rather optimistic conclusion.
