Patrick Smith

Iowa State fans are going to remember this Nate Heise shot for a long time. Heise drills a triple as the shot clock is expiring with just over a minute left... That gave the @CycloneMBB a one point lead over Houston. @iowasnewsnow

Raining in Tampa ‼️

Welcome to the Ben McCollum Era.

SO SWEET!

HOW SWEET WAS THAT

ARE. YOU. JOKING. IOWA LEADS. THIS IS MARCH. #MarchMadness

GATORS GET CHOMPED!!!! Iowa pulls off the stunner over 1-seed Florida. 9-seed Hawkeyes are moving to the Sweet 16. What a time for Ben McCollum, the program and Iowa City!!! By far the most complete performance I’ve seen from this Iowa team this season. What a game.

Folgueiras was no where remotely close to hitting Condon in the chest. Why is Todd Golden throwing a hissy fit.

Survive and Advance.

Tourney Time in Iowa City again. @IowaWBB tips off shortly.

Let the games begin.

@JackLido Jack, I really appreciate that! That means a lot coming from you. You do fantastic work and I’ve got a ton of respect for you. I really enjoyed getting the chance to work alongside you this past year!

@PatrickSmith6_ Patrick, you came to eastern Iowa and quickly turned yourself into a veteran with your knowledge and talent. I’m sad to see you go but I’m excited to see what’s next. Loved working alongside you. Anyone who doesn’t want you on their team doesn’t know what they’re doing!

Today is my last day at KGAN. I’ve decided to take the next step in my career and couldn’t have asked for a better place to start than here. Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to cover some incredible teams, athletes, and stories across Iowa and it’s been an absolute privilege to tell those stories. I’m especially grateful for the people in this newsroom who pushed me, supported me, and helped me grow every single day. I’ve learned more this past year than I ever could have imagined, and I’ll always appreciate the relationships and experiences that came with it. Thank you to everyone in Iowa for welcoming me in and allowing me to be part of such a passionate sports community. Excited for what’s next. Stay tuned.

Incredible run. Truly one of a kind. Congrats on everything you’ve accomplished, and wishing you nothing but the best in what’s next!

Both taking off on the same day. So thankful for Owen @owensiebring and everything he’s done for me this past year. From day one, he was someone I could lean on, learn from, and that made all the difference starting out in this industry. Means more than I can put into words. This duo is going to do big things.
