“The Hawkeyes’ Grit: Overcoming Adversity in the NCAA Tournament”
Despite Monday’s nail-biting showdown Hawkeyes against West Virginia in the second round, some Iowa fans might be feeling a bit anxious. However, it’s worth noting that Iowa faced a similar test in the second round last year as well.

Former Muscatine head coach Susan Orvis, who herself played for the Hawkeyes in the 1990s, sees Iowa’s ability to overcome Monday’s challenge as a positive sign for their prospects going forward.
“It wasn’t exactly the game plan they had in mind, but they adapted,” Orvis remarked. “They had to grind it out defensively, and that resilience is going to be crucial moving forward. Depending on the matchups, they might be able to impose their tempo and style of play more effectively, but they’ll face tough challenges along the way. However, having witnessed their determination and the talent they possess, I firmly believe that you can’t underestimate them on any given night.
They’re an exciting team to watch, with players like Clark stepping up when needed. Each member of the team has shown they’re capable of making significant contributions, which adds to the excitement. I genuinely believe they have as good a chance as anyone, and it’ll be fascinating to see how they fare in the coming weeks.”
