Scouting Creighton (21-9)
Creighton's ability to attack what their opposition offers is one of the greatest strengths of the program. The Bluejays shoot well from outside (10th in the NCAA at 37.0%), but Creighton can get to the paint as well. The Bluejays have scored 874 points in the paint this season, 56 more than their opponents.
A trio of sophomores lead Creighton's offense, getting 14.8 ppg from Emma Ronsiek, 12.4 ppg from Lauren Jensen and 12.2 ppg from Morgan Maly. The tandem of Jensen and Maly have quick triggers beyond the arc, knocking down a combined 149 treys.
Creighton's offense is predicated on ball movement, something that is controlled by senior point guard Tatum Rembao. The Colorado native leads Creighton with 185assists and has guided the Bluejays to the top spot in the NCAA in Assists per game (20.7) and assists-to-turnover ratio (1.61).
Scouting Iowa (24-7)
The Hawkeyes can score the ball almost at will. Iowa has won its last eight straight games and is 12-4 at home this season.
The two most prolific scoring threats are Caitlin Clark (24.7 ppg) and Monika Czinano (21.1 ppg). The duo form a lethal inside and outside threat.
Clark leads the NCAA in scoring and assists per game (7.9 apg), while also averaging 8.1 rebounds per game.
One of the most impressive portions of Iowa's offense is they are shooting 50.5% from the field as a team this season (930-of-1,843).

Keys To the Game on Sunday, March 20
- Making Iowa Defend: The Hawkeyes are going to score, specifically with over 14,000 strong behind them. One defining portion of Sunday will be if Creighton can remain close and make Iowa work on the defensive end.
- Slowing Clark and Czinano: When two players enter a game averaging 48.5 ppg, its a matter of slowing them down. Creighton must prevent these two from getting easy or uncontested buckets.
- Early Offense: Against Colorado the Bluejays fell behind 11-2 in the opening five minutes. Facing a hostile crowd would make clawing back from a sizable deficit a tougher task.
Players to Watch for Creighton
Lauren Jensen and Morgan Maly: Jensen and Maly combined for 36 in the win over Colorado. Creighton will need even more from the duo to overcome Iowa on Sunday.
Quick Connections Between Iowa and Creighton
The Bluejays and Hawkeyes share more connections than many may realize.
- Iowa's Caitlin Clark is the cousin of former Bluejay Audrey Faber.
- Faber played in Creighton's last NCAA Tournament game prior to Friday in 2018 against UCLA
- That was also the last time Creighton and Iowa met, a Bluejay victory in the First Round
- Creighton's sophomore guard Lauren Jensen was a Hawkeye last season, transferring to Creighton prior to the 2021-22 year.
- Bluejay senior Rachael Saunders is from Iowa City.
- Creighton and Iowa have faced off in the closed
- scrimmage for both teams for the past 10 seasons.
