With the bulk of its roster returning from a surprisingly successful season, the Iowa State women’s basketball team will enter the 2024-25 campaign with giant expectations.
The Cyclones will quickly find out just how good they are.
Iowa State will take on the defending national champion South Carolina in the 2024 Elevance Health Women’s Fort Myers Tip-Off at Suncoast Credit Union Arena on Thanksgiving, Nov. 28.
The Cyclones will also play Middle Tennessee State for the first time in program history on Nov. 30. Game times and broadcast information will be announced at a later date.
It’s a huge early season test for Iowa State, which is coming off a season that saw the Cyclones reach the championship game of the Big 12 Tournament and earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Iowa State came very close to reaching the Sweet 16. This season could be even better, with the Cyclones returning their top three scorers from a season ago in Audi Crooks, Addy Brown and Emily Ryan.
