I'm diehard, and I didn't think there was even the slightest chance before the game. Even when we were up 12, I just thought to myself, "Florida will probably come back, but a hell of an effort from this team!"
Sweet 16!!! We overcame Horse Sh*t officiating, 8 Missed FTs & 17 missed Threes

We were 3-7 heading into the NCAA Tournament.
I still can't believe what just happened.
The man of the hour is Coop for that nice pass to Bennett to Alvaro!
Both guys pissed ice water!
Rambler,
IF we start making our FTS and a few more threes in our upcoming games, are we talking about an @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP??? ;0
Hmmmm...I can hear the recruiting bump almost...
I demand that an elite point guard & an elite shooting guard out of the portal commit to IOWA.
Thank you.
NIL; but Iowa doesn't have what Michigan & Michigan State has.
And Indiana blew a ton of money for no postseason.
Time to change your username.
You sure? I was going to go with no air conditioning in Carver but your explanation works too
Thank you AW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had 2 double digit leads that we blew, IIRC.
And then we were in foul trouble and Florida was shooting FTs for the rest of the game.
I thought we were done.
The 3 ball sure makes for some fun endings (usually IOWA is on the wrong end, however).
And even whenever I am able to transition off of the high of that win for the Hawks....I will move on to the complete and total madness of Iowa vs Nebraska in the Sweet 16 for a trip to the elite 8.
March is the best, and we are right in the thick of it for the first time in forever.

We're up to 23 wins!
Who da thunk in late October that either Nebraska OR Iowa was GUARANTEED a spot in the Elite 8?
Yeah, that 3-ball can change things in a hurryWe had 2 double digit leads that we blew, IIRC.

Love Fran, glad we have Ben. Built for march
Still hard to believe Stirtz was 0-9 from three.
Florida has to be scratching their heads....
And a very good big man
I loved Fran until Conner ran his mouth
Banks. Incredible fighter.
Other than Alvaro, Banks is my MVP. He’s a dog. So tough. Never backed down from any of the Florida bigs
I've watched this game no fewer than 3 times this year I think, although in those other games Iowa couldn't get it done at the end. It sure was nice to see them actually pull it off for once.We had 2 double digit leads that we blew, IIRC.

Now time for the women to punch their ticket!
Coaching matters. As guys in studio said Iowa played better and McCollum out coached FL with his game plan. Last play drawn up was a thing of beauty.Ben is one helluva coach. My gawd did Beth make the right hire or what?
Can you imagine if those dumb @$$ refs had ejected Alvaro on that one play?
I don’t even want to think. For the record they made the right call with double T.
but this win is so massive because it will go a long way with McCollum recruiting players in portal or Hs, NIL and positive vibes with attendance next year.
Cam is back next year. I think you meant we lose Stirtz and Hausen for sure; possibly Banks.It truly has been a stunning day. IOWA in the Sweet 16!?!!!
Next season: Tavion could be back. We lose Cam & Bennett & that's it. You'd think a PG in the portal would want to run the show.
And ticket sales should be REALLY GOOD for next season....right?
I am simply stunned by this quick turn around.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we lose someone else to the portal, but that’s a discussion for another day.
Either way, the future is bright, provided we have a productive portal season.
This is great.
Coooooop with the Gator chomp!!!

Love Chuck! Best analyst in the game! He’s the next Dick Vitale.
What a play that Ben drew up
