NORMAN, Okla. – The Drake University women's basketball team is set to play a pair of Power 5 road games this week. Drake, which had a break last week for final exams, visits Oklahoma Tuesday night at 7 p.m. before ending the week at Iowa on Saturday night at 6 p.m. The game against the Sooners will be broadcast on FOX Sports Midwest and available on the FOX Sports Go app while the in-state matchup will be streamed on BTN+.
 
Drake (7-2) will try to defeat Oklahoma (6-4) for the first time as the Sooners hold a 3-0 advantage in the all-time series. The Bulldogs and the Sooners first played in 1977 but Tuesday will be the first meeting since 1996.
 
Oklahoma defeated Sam Houston State Sunday and prior to that knocked off then No. 25 LSU on Dec. 7. The Sooners are led in scoring by sophomore Taylor Robertson who averages 19.4 points while Ana Llanusa is right behind her at 19.2 points.
 
Iowa (8-2) collected two wins last week, including an in-state victory over Iowa State in Ames. The Hawkeyes won 91-82 last year in an exciting game at the Knapp Center that broke a tie in the all-time head-to-head as they now lead 26-25.
 
Following Saturday's game in Iowa City, Drake will enjoy a break for the holidays before it closes its non-conference slate at Northern Illinois Dec. 29 at 2 p.m.
