IOWA CITY, Iowa — The #3 team on our countdown of the best college teams from the 21st century is the 2022-23 Iowa women’s basketball team.
That year was the first of 2 straight trips to the NCAA championship game for the Hawkeyes. Caitlin Clark was the Naismith Trophy winner, and led a group of 5 three-year starters for Iowa.
Clark and Monika Czinano earned all Big Ten honors, Hannah Stuelke was the 6th player of the year, and McKenna Warnock earned honorable mention Big Ten honors.
This year we’re celebrating the best of the best from the sports world in Eastern Iowa over the last 25 years. The over-arcing theme of this series will be “The Stories of the Century”. During this year, we’ll count down the top 25 athletes, coaches, and teams from the past 25 years.
The year will be divided up into fourths, with the first portion of the year being dedicated to the best teams (both high school and college) from the last 25 years.
Every Monday we’ll be releasing two more prep teams, and every Wednesday we’ll announce two college teams who will be added to the list.
