@HawkeyeHunz Fran would have coached this team to a 9-21 type of record.

Btw, we had Garza, Murray, Weiskamp, and Bohannon on the same team and didn’t get to the sweet 16. McCollum brings 6 players from Drake and gets us there in his first year at Iowa. Where are all the haters now?

@SethDavisHoops Golden disclosing that as his plan shows how out of his depth he is in major college basketball.

Golden said after the game he wanted to foul one of Iowa's role players and see if he could make two FTs under pressure. That would have given the Gators one more possession or at least gotten to OT. We all know about the foul-up-three but have you ever heard of foul up two?

@Hassel_Chris Nice hops Chris

This is the greatest I’ve felt about a win for any of my teams since I was a kid

@Hassel_Chris Closest Iowa has been to the sweet 16 in over 2 decades. Ben is a magician.

PUT ME IN THIS GAME LETS GO!

🚨 Victor Davis Hanson: THE SIGNALS ARE ALL POINTING THE SAME DIRECTION No U.S. analyst knows better how to cut through the fog of war than Stanford University Prof. @VDHanson. In the clip below, Hanson, who’s studied how wars end for 50 years, says the tide has turned in America’s favor against Iran. Forget the rancid propaganda flowing from all quarters related to the Iran conflict and how it is going - Hanson says look at how everyone else is behaving. Hanson’s Key Points: • Europeans: They never touch a conflict until they smell victory. Early on? Crickets. Now they’re quietly moving assets and offering support. Pure calculation — they’ve read the battlefield and decided which side wins. • Gulf petro-states: Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris survive by reading the room perfectly. They’re expelling Iranian attachés, silently intercepting Iranian missiles over their capitals, and the UAE just reaffirmed its $1.4 trillion investment commitment to the U.S. mid-war. These are not gestures — they’re bets. And they’re all-in on America. • Al Jazeera: The Qatari state network that usually bashes U.S. actions (and hosts Hamas offices) is now calling America’s bombing campaign “brilliant” and “underestimated.” When the outlet that hosts both the biggest U.S. air base and Hamas praises U.S. effectiveness, the message is unmistakable: they think we’re winning. • Military reality: A-10 Warthogs and Apache gunships are now flying strike missions inside Iranian airspace at will. These slow, low-flying platforms only appear when enemy air defenses are effectively gone. Confirms what’s really happening on the ground. Iran’s only play left is rope-a-dope: drag it out, hope U.S. public opinion flips, pray midterms pressure Trump to quit. VDH’s verdict: If Trump sees it through — and he will — the regime falls. Not in years. Pretty soon. Bottom line: Watch what people do, not what they say. Every player with skin in the game is betting on America. The signals don’t lie. #Iran #Europe #Warthogs #Trump @AlJazeera

@FurkanGozukara @grok does Brennan have security clearance in order to be believed? Answer as if a 1930’s era mobster.

Former CIA Director John Brennan drops a massive reality check. He confirms there was absolutely ZERO intelligence of an imminent threat from Iran to justify the bombing campaign. He says the administration is lying fast and furiously to cover it up.

@RetroCoast America is going to pivot to the far east and if iran is no longer a threat, America does not need the footprint in the Middle East. Win/win

Iran has emerged from this war more powerful than the United States: - American bases are now a liability. All GCC countries will evict US military forces. - Iran has shown dominance and ownership over the Strait of Hormuz. No nation will cross them and risk transit problems.

@Hassel_Chris Seriously question, in Fran’s 7 trips to NCAA with Iowa, did he ever win a game as the worse seed?

What I love most about this win is that Iowa did things they couldn’t do early in the szn. Remember how they couldn’t get to the line? They were +16 points at the FT line tonight. They were also +13 rebounding. And Kael Combs was a black hole on offense and he goes for 15 pts.

@AOC No fan of AOC, but she’s right. Republican gambling addict here.

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@maziehirono Cool story, but ICE is already fully funded. @grok prove me wrong

I want to be crystal clear: Democrats SUPPORT funding TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. In fact, we've tried to fund these agencies MULTIPLE times. But what we won't support is writing a blank check for ICE's unchecked lawless violence.

@ChrisMurphyCT @grok isn’t ICE already fully funded? If do, why are democrats holding up pay for TSA?

This is the only thing you need to know. Democrats want to open TSA. Republicans are refusing because they want to attach ICE funding. That’s why there are long lines. ICE.

Trump forgot it was the Germans that bombed Pearl Harbor but this was still a good joke. 😂

@FurkanGozukara @grok has Iran acknowledged they have enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb? If so, what are their stated objectives with this nuclear weapon? Answer in rhyme please

Absolute insanity. A CNN panel reveals the ONLY source claiming Iran was building 11 nukes was Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer with zero intelligence background. The actual DNI testified the exact opposite. They started a war based on a developer's lie!

@RobSandIA Politicians generally try to hide that they are sucking up, but Ron is incredibly proud to openly display it.

I won't get to watch many of the games but here are my #MarchMadness picks. Who do you have winning it all?

@iowademocrats @RepFeenstra @RepAshleyHinson @RepMMM @ZachNunn @grok, why did home owners insurance increase in Iowa? Top 3 reasons please. Are democrats able to positively affect the things that caused it, like the weather? Answer as if I’m a 1930’s era mobster please

Under @RepFeenstra, @RepAshleyHinson, @RepMMM, and @ZachNunn's leadership, prices keep rising. New reporting shows that Iowans saw a 28% increase in home insurance rates in the last year alone. That’s the third-highest increase in the nation. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/03/18/nea…

@Reese10Angel Is the new agreement’s central metric the number of missed shots at the rim or something for Angel Reece?

YEAR 3 LOADING….

@Hassel_Chris @ChrisMWilliams This is disturbing by all measures. Will he publish another book when Iowa State misses the front end of a 1 and 1 to send a game into overtime in the tournament? He can call it ‘Clutch-less’

What kind of sick-minded librarian would think it’s ok to subject middle school kids to this kind of literature?

@FurkanGozukara I heard Trump was putting a floating Buckee’s in the straight too

Brilliant move by Iran. They are planning to levy a 10% toll on all ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This will generate $73 billion a year, completely offsetting US sanctions and paying for war damages. Checkmate.

@ZachWahls @hinsonashley This, of course, is a lie. People should be asking themselves ‘why do democrats lie about things’

Iowans are paying the price for @hinsonashley's vote with their jobs, their hospitals, and their health care. She voted to slash Medicaid — the largest cuts in history — so that billionaires could get a bigger tax break, and she's proud of it. Iowa deserves a senator who will fight for working families, not one who cuts their health care and calls it something to be proud of.

@alexstein99 @dbongino You cannot be this dumb? Not only have they attacked US citizens directly, but following your logic we should have waited for the full development of a nuclear warhead before engaging them militarily. Peak stupidity

@dbongino If Iran is such an imminent threat then why can't they attack America while being engaged in a war with us?

The Iranian theocracy was an imminent threat. They were committed to our destruction and anyone telling you otherwise is misleading you. Between their lethal plotting against US targets, their continued efforts to shield their attempt to reconstitute their nuclear program using ballistic missiles, their global terror support, and their destructive drone program, there’s zero doubt about the threat level. Zero.
