Devyn Marble. Basabe. McCabe. White. Uthoff. Jok City. Clemmons. Perkins. Murray twins. Garzilla. JBo. So many dudes. And so many more. All who helped bring respectability back to this program and made it possible for a moment like yesterday to happen. Hope all of them feel part of this success.

I sat and watched us lose games to UTSA at home with 500 fans in attendance. We became consistent top-half in conference finishers and won a handful of tournament games + now have guys in the NBA killing it. Not to mention a conference tournament title. Both parties are better for moving on but both parties aren't enjoying the success today without the success shared in Iowa City.

@HawkHoops94 @jeremiahdavis10 yeah not buying that bs, fran was a horrendous coach

Pour one out for Fran McCaffery’s Iowa legacy. Buried immediately lol

Oh, how sweet it is! 🕺 The Hawkeyes advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999.

@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.

Ben's energy here is so awesome. I'm a big believer in this. There is a genuine impact to radiating this energy as a coach. And it's a key factor in Iowa making the Sweet 16.

SO SWEET!

@James15brooks @BadCallOfficial You lost! 🤣🤣🤣 PUSSY

@BadCallOfficial You have a thrown punch that was only a technical in this game and you post this….

This was not called a foul on Florida. Rueben Chinyelu plows over the Iowa player. That’s a bad missed call.

@DustyBottoms04 One of the dirtiest games I've ever seen played by an opponent. Fuck Florida!

😐

@gatorsszn And still got dominated for a full 40 against Iowa. Hold these nuts 🤣

Won 28 games and the SEC with the entire backcourt leaving last year btw

@gatorsszn It actually was. Dude sucks and we loved every second with the ball in his hands

This game was not on Xaivian Lee btw

SUUUUUUUIIIIII

SUIIIIIIIIIII 😭😭😭

Kael Combs is a LEGEND for this:

@RayJOrtega I don't think we retain him. Some desperate P4 team will throw him 2 million. Regardless, he's an Iowa legend for life.

Alvaro made some money tonight.

@teaseronalay — update? Early candidate for #DumbassofTheYear

@John_Fanta Quiet down. You're a bum. And always have been.

Iowa is heading to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999. What an absolutely incredible job done by Ben McCollum in year one. Then again, the man wins everywhere he goes. The Hawkeyes just took out the reigning national champions. Alvaro Folgueiras becomes an Iowa legend!

@HawkeyeBBFan There's nothing tougher than a dude who loves his Mom.

I need to know more about this guy…

@RayJOrtega Fran took us from the basement to Big Ten Champions. He deserves all the respect. Ben took what he built and elevated it in year 1. It's good to be us!

It’s completely possible to be happy that Beth made the call to bring in new blood and also be grateful for what Fran brought to the program for 15 years. I still think Fran is a helluva coach and I think Ben is the right coach for Iowa now.

"If you're soft, this probably isn't the spot for you" Holy shit Ben, I love you.
