Lucy Olsen reacts to Iowa's win vs Nebraska

Lucy Olsen was on a mission as Iowa demolished Nebraska on Monday. The Hawkeyes secured their fifth straight win, avenging their 87-84 overtime loss to the Huskers on Jan. 16

“It was a little bit of a revenge game,” Olsen said per On3. “None of us were happy that we lost the first time, and you don’t get to play teams twice in the Big Ten very often. I just didn’t want to lose. I know how hard we’ve worked in practice, so I just wanted to come out and see what could happen.”

In the previous game against Nebraska, Iowa blew an 11-point fourth-quarter lead due to poor free throwing. However, Monday's game was a lot different, as the Hawkeyes held on to their 14-point advantage in the fourth quarter to ensure they ended the game with a win.

Iowa (17-7, 7-6 Big 10) will return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena to host Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Thursday.
