HALF | Iowa 21, Michigan State 35

The Hawkeyes had scoring droughts of 6:03 and 3:42 during the first half and seemed lifeless until Brendan Hausen provided some juice with 7 points in six minutes.

McCollum & Co. failed to hit 30 points in the first half 7 times last year👇

Iowa (7-0) sticks with starting lineup V2 against No. 7 Michigan State (7-0).

The Ben McCollum era gets its biggest test yet in a couple of minutes!

"It was a full 180 from my original plan.”

Iowa's Claire Ammeraal planned to finish out school next semester and become a medical assistant for a year before applying to medical school.

Then, the Omaha Supernovas selected her with the 22nd overall pick in last week's MLV Draft.

No Chit-Chat Wright or Teagan Mallegni for the #Hawkeyes tonight.

Emely Rodriguez also questionable for tonight's matchup.

I don't see Rodriguez on the court during warmups.

Will be a big spot for freshman Journey Houston.

Tonight's starting five for Iowa (5-0) vs. Ole Miss (5-0) in game one of the Acrisure Classic in Palm Springs, California.

Kael Combs sticks in the lineup. Combs started against Chicago State over Isaia Howard. HC Ben McCollum said he wanted another ball handler in the lineup against CSU's press.

No Hayden Large or TJ Hall in the latest #Hawkeyes depth chart.

DJ Vonnahme will start at TE for Large and Zach Lutmer will start at CB for Hall.

We’ll hear more on those two injuries from HC Kirk Ferentz tomorrow.
November 24, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Well, that feels like the ball game.

It’s not over but you needed something off that shanked punt.

Here’s today’s crowd 5 minutes before kickoff!

Last one in Kinnick this year.

It appears Kirk Ferentz has always been a master of coach speak ...

The #Hawkeyes head coach was NOT giving Navy any bulletin board material in 1976!

Starters for tonight's matchup between Iowa (4-0) and Chicago State (0-5).
