NORMAN, Okla. — Jan Jensen teared up when she reflected on the moment. Iowa's head coach was an assistant for 24 years at the school before getting promoted ahead of this season. She enjoyed being assistant head coach for Lisa Bluder, and she held out and got her dream job when Bluder retired. Now, Jensen has led the Hawkeyes to the NCAA Tournament in her first season as No. 3 seed Iowa will play No. 14 Murray State. In the late game Saturday, No. 3 seed Oklahoma and No. 14 Florida Gulf Coast.
