The roller coaster, up and down season that the Iowa women’s basketball has had, to this point, should have been expected to a certain extent. Nobody should have expected it to be a smooth transition without any bumps in the road.

This was supposed to be the productive trip home Iowa women's basketball needed to get right, a chance to stabilize things amid a rare skid in a place those in gold love to shine. It was anything but.

The Iowa State women had made at least one 3-pointer in an NCAA-record 945 games. That streak ended Tuesday after 30 years.
