Well, that was a surprise. Monday afternoon, Lisa Bluder announced her retirement after 24 years as the head coach of the Iowa women's basketball team. Just a half hour later, assistant Jan Jensen was named head coach.
Why Bluder decided to step down now, the advantages of promoting Jensen, what this means for the Hawkeyes roster and more. Plus, Kate Martin made the opening day roster for the Las Vegas Aces, a hint at what's next in the portal for MBB and recruits that could be next to commit in football.
