First Lady Jill Biden Cancels White House Invitation for Iowa Women's Basketball Team

After initially expressing interest in inviting the Iowa women's basketball team to the White House, First Lady Jill Biden has reportedly changed her plans.

According to reports, the cancellation of the invitation came after the team's coach, Lisa Bluder, publicly announced that none of her players had planned to attend the event. Bluder cited scheduling conflicts as the reason for the team's absence.


The First Lady's office did not provide a reason for the cancellation, but it's possible that the lack of attendance from the team played a role. The White House has traditionally invited championship sports teams to visit and be honored, but it's not uncommon for some players to decline the invitation for various reasons.

The Iowa women's basketball team had a successful season, finishing with a 20-10 record and earning a spot in the NCAA tournament. However, the team was eliminated in the second round of the tournament, falling to Kentucky in a close game.

It's unclear if the team will receive any other recognition for their achievements this season. Despite the cancellation of the White House invitation, the players and coaches should be proud of their hard work and dedication throughout the season.
