On Selection Sunday, Iowa was announced as the number 2 seed for the Greensboro Region, the team's fourth consecutive appearance in the NCAA tournament.[3][4] The Hawkeyes were upset by 10th-seed Creighton in the second round of the NCAA tournament in a 64–62 loss.[5] They finished the season with a record of 24–8 (14–4 B1G).

Sophomore Caitlin Clark was named Big Ten Player of the Year and a unanimous first-team All-American. Clark became the first player to lead the nation in scoring and assists in the same season.
