Hawkeyes’ annual tour of the Big Four begins Thursday against UNI

IOWA CITY — Ava Heiden received five stitches Sunday. And another hard lesson on early foul trouble. The all-Big Ten center was called for two early personals in the Hawkeyes’ top-10 showdown at Connecticut, and it was costly. Without her inside presence, Iowa fell behind by as many as 27 points before surging late in a 91-79 defeat. “She’s kind of like a kid in a candy store,” Iowa Coach Jan Jensen said Wednesday. “You have to understand the discipline in that. Those decisions put our team at risk.” Heiden spent time in the film room with assistant Randi Henderson before talking to the media Wednesday. “It’s a reach thing,” Heiden said about the majority of her fouls. “It’s just habits I need to (make). It takes some discipline. “Do you wall up or not? When I’m in the in-between, it makes it easier to get more fouls.” Heiden and the 10th-ranked Hawkeyes (2-1) will try to rebound Thursday against Northern Iowa (1-1). Tipoff is 7:30 p.m. at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. It’s the first of the Hawkeyes’ three instate games. They’ll travel to Drake on Dec. 1 and will welcome Iowa State on Dec. 9.
