IOWA CITY, Iowa. —  The Wisconsin women's basketball team (8-8, 1-5 B1G) is set for a rematch against No. 2 Iowa (17-1, 6-0 B1G) on Tuesday in Iowa City. Tip off is at 8 p.m., and the game can be streamed live on Peacock, or listened to on 1070 WTSO-AM. 

Here are five things to know before the Badgers matchup against the Hawkeyes.

1. DAILY DOUBLE-DOUBLES: In Wisconsin's last time on the court against Michigan on Saturday, Jan. 13, Serah Williams emerged with an 11 point, 11 rebound double-double. This marked the sophomore's sixth double-double of the season, and was the 10th time this season she led the team in scoring. 

2. SANIA'S PERFECT SHOOTING: Sania Copeland was the Badgers' most efficient scorer against the Wolverines, shooting a perfect 100% and going 3-3 in the field and 2-2 from the three-point range. The guard leads the Badgers in three-pointers drained this season with 28, and is 13th in the Big Ten in average 3FG per game. 

3. SECURING STEALS: Ronnie Porter leads the Big Ten in steals per game with 2.4, and has 39 total steals on the season. Her quick hands and undying tenacity allow her to rip the ball away from opponents, which often result in quick fast-break points for her team. Porter had just three steals all of last season, and has shown monumental growth from her freshman to sophomore year. 

4. LAST MEETING WITH IOWA: When Wisconsin played Iowa last, the Kohl Center was an absolutely electric atmosphere. The Badgers set an attendance record of 14,252, which ranks seventh all-time in the Kohl Center. Serah Williams collected 15 points and eight rebounds against the Hawkeyes, while Ronnie Porter tied her career-high in points with 17.

5. SCOUTING THE HAWKEYES: Wisconsin played Iowa in the first conference game of the season back on Dec. 10, and will play each other yet again, this time in Iowa City. Since the Hawkeyes' 87-65 win over the Badgers, the team has proceeded to go 7-0, including 5-0 in conference play. The team is of course led by one of the best players in the nation, Caitlin Clark, who averages a league-best 30.9 points per game, to go along with 7.2 rebounds and 7.9 assists.
