MBB FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...
Minnesota 70 - Iowa 67
Incredible comeback by the #Hawkeyes comes up just ever so short at the buzzer. You cannot count this UI team out under McCollum. Really tough #B1G road loss.
Iowa returns to action hosting Illinois on Sunday.

Ben McCollum stayed out of a second-half huddle in Saturday's game and let his players sort it out. It's a sign that the first-year Iowa coach has a good grasp of the pulse of his team. It's THE MONDAY TIPOFF. iowacollegehoops.com/2026/01/05/t...

The game story from today: Ben McCollum wasn't sure he wanted to sit Bennett Stirtz with four fouls late in the second half, but he's glad his assistants talked him into it. It made a difference in the Hawkeyes' win over UCLA. iowacollegehoops.com/2026/01/04/i...
IOWA 74, UCLA 61: The Right Call At The Right Time
By JOHN BOHNENKAMP IOWA CITY, Iowa — Ben McCollum has coached Bennett Stirtz long enough to know the point guard needs to be on the floor no matter what. So, when Stirtz picked up his fourth foul w…

I'm already prepped for tonight's Seahawks - 49ers Game. Normally would cheer for George (and even Purdy - although that gives me some heartburn). But tonight it's all Seattle - because that's what's best for the #Bears!

The message is not sub-textual. "I can abduct with impunity anyone," is a clear threat to the Congress. I'm not a mystic but there isn't much time.

Iowa ends 2025 allowing just 16.1 PPG.
It’s now the 10th (!!) consecutive season the Hawkeyes have allowed fewer than 20 PPG.
No other FBS program currently has a streak longer than four (4) years.
And for Iowa, it’s been a decade.

That's a #Hawkeyes record that I doubt will be broken - MG has at least one rush TD in every single game (regular season + bowl). And those plays finally have an appropriate name...
Consecutive Gronowski Plowskis - got to love it. That was a huge TD for the #Hawkeyes - time and point in the game!

3Q End: Iowa 24 - Vanderbilt 17
Got a game now as Vandy's Offense got uncorked a bit in the 3rd. But the #Hawkeyes are driving on VU's 4 YL and need a TD to start the 4Q - points would be huge at this point.

2Q End: Iowa 14 - Vanderbilt 3
MG's fumble recovery. Vandy illegal punt. Some great UI offensive plays + D sacks. Strange happenings and the #Hawkeyes continue to dominate this game. Total Offense kind of eye-popping. Guessing this score will be surprising to a lot of folks.
