Studly Dudley

That’s Angel Reese

Connor’s husband is so embarrassed for him right now.

@ConnerClarke Meanwhile Chinyelu out there doing WWE moves on Iowa players and not even getting hit with a foul when he should have been ejected.

@ConnorOnion @IowaHoops So awesome!!!! Coop told me when he committed he would get the Hawks back in the Sweet Sixteen! He and his teammates did it! Speechless! Go Hawks! Special stuff.

Goodnight, Hawkeye Nation & Good Morning, America 😉

Long time Iowa fans remember a few shots in our lives. 1980: Steve Waite bucket to beat Georgetown in the Elite 8. 1987: Kevin Gamble three pointer beats Oklahoma in the Sweet 16. 2026: Alvaro Folgueiras three pointer beats #1 Florida in the 2nd Round. Three all timers.

One thing that is not a question now. The Big Ten was by far the best conference in Men’s College Basketball this season.

Cam Manyawu: "We've heard a lot of, 'This team can't compete,' and a lot of, 'Oh, this is a mid-major team.' And, I mean, shoot, we've got a lot of mid-major guys who we start. We've got D-II guys, we've got mid-major guys. We embrace that fully. But I guess we're a mid-major team in the Sweet 16, so it just feels great to prove people wrong."

Iowa defeats defending NCAA champions Florida 73-72 as the Gators become the first No. 1 seed to be knocked out of the 2026 men's tournament cnn.it/41ny0eK

Fire us up, @IowaHoops!! Let's goooo!! 💥

Ben McCollum took a moment to discuss what the impact of the Florida win and this season as a whole can have on the program: “We just try to recruit tough dudes who want to be a part of something bigger than themselves, and hopefully people see that.”

I'm still in shock that Iowa knocked off Florida. The Gators are the best rebounding team in the country, and Iowa's center is 6'9. Boogie Fland is an elite defender to combat Bennett Stirtz, and he did. But Ben McCollum still found a way. A coaching masterclass.

The call of Alvaro Foulgerais's game-winning three to send Iowa past defending national champions Florida from Gary Dolphin and Bobby Hansen on the Hawkeye Radio Network.

CBS spent 10 minutes talking about Alvaro “punching” Condon But Chinyelu comes down and T’s off into the back of Jirak and not a peep Should’ve been Flagrant 1 and free throws

Hey Kansas City….need a team to root for?! The Iowa Hawkeyes just defeated Florida 73-72 to advance to the Sweet 16 🏀 Led by head coach Ben McCollum who coached NW Missouri State to several DII National Championships, Iowa features many players from the KC Metro. Hawkeyes’ leading scorer Bennett Stirtz - Liberty HS Cam Manyawu - Staley HS Tavion Banks - Ruskin HS Isaia Howard - Plattsburg HS Joey Matteoni - Blue Valley Northwest Hawkeyes make Sweet 16 for first time since 1999. They’ll take on Nebraska Thursday.

Update he did.

If Iowa basketball somehow finds a way to beat Nebrasketball in the Sweet 16 I will run from Sidney Nebraska to Sidney Iowa in a Hawkeye singlet eating only corn on the cob
