Iowa is hiring longtime NFL offensive coordinator Tom Moore (Peyton Manning's OC with the Indianapolis Colts) as senior consultant to the head coach and offensive advisor. Moore, who is 87, played QB at Iowa in the late 1950s.
Thank you Lord for blessing me with an opportunity of a life time, I dreamed as a kid playing at the collegiate level. Lastly I wanna thank everyone who has supported me throughout this process! GO HAWKS🐤#committed
Can’t make this up: Someone just called the WCIA newsroom wanting answers on the officiating in Houston.
@amandabrennantv had to explain that, unfortunately, that is out our control 😂
Just saw my friend from @NBPA Top 100 Camp, @IowaHoops redshirt freshman, @treyyy_2k Thompson. He, Cooper Koch and Tate Sage are an incredible start to the future for the Hawks. Super talented trio. @bigten
Iowa's Brendan Hausen has not played a minute in the NCAA Tournament but is having the time of his life and embracing his role as a senior leader.
“Every single year, I've wanted to be a leader. I think God just instilled leadership in me. Sometimes in life, when you're navigating different places and different situations, it can be hard, and you can be confused or maybe be scared to be who you really are. And this group has really brought it out of me. And I found a role where I've been able to mentor guys, to help guys and really just use my voice. And that's been truly special.”
He tries to “be a shoulder for guys whenever I see them down. There was times in my career when I was younger that maybe I was down, or maybe I was homesick and struggling and I didn't really know who to turn to. Maybe I was scared. Anytime I see somebody that might be down or might need a tip here or there, I've just been able to do that. And I feel like I've been a really good teammate in regards to that.”

Insane Iowa stat:
Clemson is a top-25 defensive rebounding % team
Florida is a top-25 2-point % defense team
Nebraska is a top-25 3-point % defense team
Iowa forced Clemson's single-worst dreb% of the year
Iowa forced Florida's single-worst 2pt% D of the year
Iowa force Nebraska's single-worst 3pt% D of the year
The Hawkeyes not only beat three very good teams, but beat three very good teams at EXACTLY what those opponents were best at.
Impossible.
On Saturday, Arizona will be playing for its first trip to the Final Four since 2001 under Lute Olson.
