The Cy-Hawk women’s basketball game will tip off at 7 p.m. on December 9 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, with the contest set to air on FS1. Iowa State announced the primetime slot for this year’s in-state rivalry, offering fans a chance to catch the matchup on national television.
Iowa enters the game with a nine-game winning streak at home against Iowa State, a streak dating back several seasons. However, the Cyclones took last year’s meeting at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, edging the Hawkeyes 74-69. That victory snapped Iowa’s run and gave Iowa State a boost heading into the season.
The December game continues the long-running Cy-Hawk rivalry, which draws interest across the state and beyond. The women’s teams have increasingly attracted attention, and the FS1 broadcast reflects growing recognition of their matchup. Playing in Iowa City gives the Hawkeyes home-court advantage as they look to extend their series dominance.
Details about the rosters or season outlooks for either team were not included in the announcement. The single confirmed fact is the time, date, and television network for this year’s game.
The December 9 tipoff at 7 p.m. will offer a chance to see the Cyclones and Hawkeyes square off on national TV, continuing one of college basketball’s notable state rivalries.
