The climb to being the number-one ranked team in the nation for the Iowa women's basketball squad came to a halt. Caitlin Clark was firing from all cylinders and dropping all sorts of insane dimes just for the Hawkeyes to stay in striking distance. All of that did not matter as Nebraska with Jaz Shelley, Alexis Markowski, and Logan Nissley proved to be too much for them.

Despite Iowa women's basketball just losing by three points, there was still some cause for celebration for Nebraska. They hand-delivered the Hawkeyes their third loss of the season. It all started with Jaz Shelley. She blazed up for a team-high 23 points and even used Caitlin Clark's iconic ‘You Can't See Me' celebration against the Iowa legend, via Awful Announcing.
