@jtlinder 3hrs

How long has the last 8 minutes of game time taken in real time?

@jtlinder Park in North Liberty?

Starters.

@UNISoftball @BeneshJenni @KwikStar Way to go Skylar!,,

Skylar Benesh continues to shine! She is your @KwikStar Star of the Game! #EverLoyal | #1UNI

@MarkFreundTV @jtlinder Very tight.

@jtlinder For sure. That was a tight angle.

I am just sitting on my couch in stunned silence, thinking about everything: Folgueiras, McCollum, Cooper Koch, the game plan, the play design, the reason you fire Fran McCaffery, the Sweet 16. It’s all swirling around a jumbled mess in my head. Truly unbelievable.

Benesh didn't want to play in the freezing rain, so she turned a quick double-play to end the ballgame! #EverLoyal | #1UNI

@jeje66 😂😂

Headline: “Folgueiras with the knockout punch for Hawkeyes” …

@jeje66 Ohh my!

Wow.

@alisonh2006 Agreed😁

These announcers are absolutely clueless

@jeje66 Bush league, again.😂

Somebody wanna tell the TV crew this is what McCollum was upset about? Watch #9 …

@kmelchert91 @DavidEickholt This! Correct

@DavidEickholt My only issue was the officials were too late blowing the whistle to signal the jump ball

Great job by the officials to calm things down and not making it bigger than it was. Don’t like that Folgueiras closed his fist, but I would be red hot after getting thrown down to the ground on a jump ball. Play on.

@jeje66 Bush league

@lynxdad That’s something, eh, Dave?

Boy this guy from Florida is … something.

@angie_kurt Yes we were. 😉

@lynxdad That’s what we’re seeing these first 12 min. Keep it going Hawks.

Hawks could take notes from Cyclone offense. Constant ball movement. They drive to basket with a purpose. The purpose is to score, not pass up a layup for an off balance 3. 😉

@ByCodyHills He can’t throw it in the ocean tonight.

Good start. This is my first time seeing Bennett Stirtz in person, and boy, you really gain an appreciation for his court vision and passing skills. Unreal.

Go Hawks.

@owensiebring Appreciate what you do and have done, especially covering prep sports. Best of luck with future endeavors!

Friday will be my last day at KGAN. Our station is going through some transitions, and I (along with some of my colleagues) was given the option to either sign a new contract... or have March 20 be my last day. And I chose the latter. Frankly it has less to do with the change, and more to do with my current life status. I'm in a serious relationship with a wonderful women who lives in Michigan. So the next step was already going to be a relocation closer to her... this just pushed that decision forward by several months. The most difficult part of these last days is knowing how many stories I wanted to tell, but will be left unfinished. I won't get to cover the Hawkeye women's team in another NCAA tournament... I won't get to cover Quentin Nauman's final State track meet... I won't get to see the next chapter of Hawkeye football. This makes it painful to say goodbye, but it is necessary. It's been a tremendous honor over the last 4 years to cover sports in my home market. Every sports anchor dreams of doing big things in the world of broadcasting... but if you can't make it big, then working in your home market is a special honor that not a lot of people get to enjoy. I've worked for almost 9 years in this state, and I've had the pleasure of working alongside some of the greatest journalists Iowa has ever known. Calling myself a colleague of guys like Keith Murphy, Scott Saville, Brad Pautsch, Ron Steele, Chad Leistikow, Scott Dochterman, Jeff Linder, Mike Hlas... that has been an honor that I'll never forget. What's next for Owen? I have no idea. And frankly that's frightening... to be face-to-face with not knowing where my next paycheck will come from; I haven't had to deal with that in over a decade, and it terrifies me. Next week I'll be going to Kenya for a couple of weeks to visit some of the locations where my girlfriend runs a non-profit. After that, I'll likely be sticking around Iowa a little while longer before relocating to Michigan. But what I'm doing to make a living? I really don't know. I'm hoping to pick up some freelance work here or there; I have a few leads on that front, but I'm not sure what that might actually look like. I love this job, and deep down I believe this is the line of work I was built for. But it's entirely possible that this is the end of my television career, and a time for a transition to something else. Again, it's a frightening perspective, and one that I didn't think I would be facing at this stage of my life... but here we are. If anyone reading this has any connections in western Michigan, or knows of any places to pick up some freelance writing, shooting, reporting, or anything in a related field-I'd be happy to hear about it! I'll post more when my last day comes this Friday. But for now, just know that every day on this job has been a joy, and I'll miss eastern Iowa dearly.

@MichaelMolony Yes. Besides, it resulted in a to that turned into a 3. Huge turn of events.

Brutal way to take DeShaw out of the game

@tonysroe Heck of a defensive effort by an undersized team.

Tino Daye Jr with 15 points to lead the Dragons. Nicare Cavil had 14, and Joshua Jenkins added 10. The Dragons forced 14 Northwest turnovers, gave it away only 7 times themselves. Fantastic game plan, fantastic execution, well-earned win. #iahsbkb

Final: #6 Johnston 48, #3 Waukee Northwest 42 Johnston stuns the Wolves, will take on either Waukee or Prairie in Thursday's semifinals. #iahsbkb

@kjpilcher @KeelyPilcher No shame in being a proud parent!

I know some hate the personal posts but I’m so proud of this kid. Thank you for being a wonderful person, @KeelyPilcher! Love ya, bud!

@Zhoops44 Too complacent.

Gonna need like 40 from Stirtz.
