What channel is Ohio State women's basketball game on? How to watch Ohio State-Iowa

Though there is no Big Ten title or tournament drama going into No. 2 Ohio State's women's basketball game on the road against No. 6 Iowa, a lot of people are still expected to be watching this top-10 matchup to close of the regular season.

The Buckeyes secured their first solo Big Ten regular-season title since 2010 on Wednesday with a victory over Michigan. While the postseason questions have been answered before Ohio State's second matchup against the Hawkeyes this season, the rivalry at play has both teams motivated to pick up this final victory before heading into the Big Ten tournament.

The last time these two teams met, they battled into overtime in front of a sold-out crowd at Value City Arena. Caitlin Clark, the nation's leading-scorer, dropped 45 points for the Hawkeyes, but it wasn't enough to avoid being upset by then-ranked No. 18 Ohio State, which was led by Cotie McMahon's 33 points and 12 rebounds.

A crowd of a similar magnitude is expected to show up at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, with ticket prices reaching all-time highs for women's college basketball. Along with the marquee matchup taking place, this will also be Senior Day for the Hawkeyes and Clark's final regular-season game with the program, as she declared for the 2024 WNBA draft on Thursday.

With all the anticipation surrounding this matchup, ESPN's College GameDay is set to be hosted live from Carver-Hawkeye Arena prior to the game.
