127 So what will Hawkeye fans see next season inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena? Here are sample highlights from Iowa's 18-point win against Miami: With the game tied at 15 midway through the first half, UI sophomore Alexa Kastanek swipes the ball from Miami's Jassany Williams. UI freshman Whitney Jennings goes the length of the court, makes a layup, and the Hawkeyes lead, 17-15. With 4:36 le in the first half and the Hawkeyes behind, 27-23, UI junior Kali Peschel grabs an offensive rebound and scores on a put-back. A possession later, Iowa tied the game and never trailed again. On two possessions early in the second half, UI freshman Chase Coley converts layups that extend Hawkeye leads to seven and six points. In the second-round victory, the Hawkeye bench of Coley, Kastanek, and Peschel went 7-of-9 from the field (Peschel was 2-of-2 from 3-point), with 10 rebounds, three assists, and a steal. And only one turnover. "We have confidence in them every time they are on the floor," Logic said. "ey come in and work their butts off in practice every day, and not just those three. e other six that didn't get in, they come in and work so hard making us better. It's nice to see them reap the benefits of that because they deserve it." Against Baylor, Peschel played 22 minutes, making 4-of-6 field goals (2-of-2 from 3-point) for 12 points. Coley played 11 minutes, making 2-of-3 field goals and pulling down three rebounds.

It was emotional for the standard reason, serving as a salute to the senior class of Melissa Dixon, Bethany Doolittle, Samantha Logic, and Kathryn Reynolds. It was awkward because the nearly 10,000 fans in attendance March 1 didn't know with certainty if Carver-Hawkeye Arena would serve as one of 16 first and second-round sites for the upcoming NCAA Tournament. So there were no bold MacArthur-esque "I shall return" speeches that day because there was still a Big Ten Tournament to play and a final decision on location was in the hands of the NCAA. But the Hawkeyes did return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena for their eighth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. ey eliminated American, 75-67, on March 20 and then Miami (Florida), 88- 70, on March 22. One of the many achievements of the 2014-15 team and its senior class is a spotless, school-record 18-0 record at home. Iowa concluded the year March 27 with an 81-66 loss to Baylor in a Sweet 16 matchup in Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. In the last four seasons, Iowa compiled a record of 93-42, including a 57-12 mark at home. During that time the senior foursome has accounted for 4,433 points, 1,833 rebounds, 1,203 assists, 433 3-point field goals, and 321 blocked shots.
