This team just continues to fight. That 3 pointer by Al was ice cold and the Hawks just fought and fought. For the first time this century, Iowa is headed to the Sweet 16. #Hawkeyes

Absolute bush league in the center of the lane at the end of the half. McCollum should have gone nuclear after that.

Holy crap how is that not reviewed! Thats to the back of the head!

@webcentrick BIG+ means its a Rob Brooks and Kathryn Reynolds kind of night for me!

Commentators stating that bigger post players should be allowed to be more physical and not called for fouls because they are bigger is patently wrong and is bad for the game of basketball.

@Majick666 @CPyles8 You could hear the official on the broadcast saying Nebraska went to thr legs first in that sequence and he wasn't counting for stalling. Not arguing if that is right or wrong, but that is what the official communicated. The broadcasters just didn't catch it in real time.

There is negative game flow right now. Too many whistles and long stoppages. It's hard to believe either of these offenses will find any rhythm in this game. #Hawkeyes

Iowa has not played well in west coast regular season games under Kirk Ferentz, but they have also won their last 10 games following a loss. I think the latter prevails and Iowa gets its first ranked win since 2021. Iowa over USC 23-16. #Hawkeyes #FightForIowa

A road game day for your Iowa Hawkeyes! Iowa will take on the #17 USC Trojans at 2:30 on BTN. Keys to an Iowa victory:

1. Run the Damn Ball. Heavy rain is forecasted today in LA. Iowa needs to control the ball and line of scrimmage. USC allows over 7 yards per carry this year.

3. Don't Beat Yourself. Iowa had two bad punt snaps last week, a couple missed throws, and way too many missed tackles. USC is beatable, but you can't beat yourself.

My heart says Hawks. My head says Ducks. And we're going with my heart. Iowa 24-20 in a classic heavyweight slugfest!

It's officially Duck Season in Iowa City! Iowa hosts Oregon at 2:30! The broadcast will be in CBS. Keys to an Iowa Victory:

4. Keep Kinnick in the Game. Big Noon Kickoff is in Iowa City. They opened the parking lots early. The crowd is going to be electric and Iowa needs to keep the fans in it. If they trail Oregon by no less than a touchdown going into the 4th quarter, that is where they need to be.

College Basketball officials and completely changing the way they call a game at halftime. Not a more frustrating duo. This second half has been brutal.

The Taylor (Stremlow) to Taylor (McCabe) connection has the Iowa offense clicking! #Hawkeyes

@webcentrick No question. This is the Lucy that Iowa has been looking for all year. Commanding the offense and creating when the team needed her.

[From The Corner of Kinnick @CornerOfKinnick]

This half of basketball is why you went and got Lucy Olsen out of the portal. She's throwing rocks into the ocean when she shoots right now and creating for teammates. Iowa is right where they want to be after 35 minutes of play. #Hawkeyes
