The 2023-24 women’s college basketball season is off to a tremendous start with several of the sport’s top teams falling to upset-minded foes.
The latest championship contender to take an early loss was No. 2 Iowa, which lost at home to unranked Kansas State on Thursday night, 65–58. Wildcats center Ayoka Lee led the upset effort with 22 points and 12 rebounds.
“Just the opportunity to play tonight made it so worth it,” said Lee, who missed last season with a knee injury, via ESPN.com. “Just to pull through with the win with my teammates, be on the court, be able to celebrate with them.”
