Hilarious comment from McCollum yesterday is that his team’s pregame meal is chicken, pork chops, rice, and a vegetable.
He doesn’t allow any bread because he had his team eat Olive Garden once and they all had a basket of bread and they got blown out.
Absolutely love this guy
What did McCollum say to his team when they were down 10?
“He slammed his white board and broke his marker on the floor. Ink everywhere. … He was just telling us we sucked, and we were soft.”
T.J. Otzelberger’s first season:
*20-12 entering NCAA
*4-7 record pre NCAA
*11-seed
*Sweet 16
Ben McCollum’s first season with Iowa:
*21-12 entering NCAA
*3-7 record pre NCAA
*9-seed
*Sweet 16
Otz and BMc are mirror images. Culture, toughness, swagger. Programs in great hands
Ben McCollum just beat Todd Golden with 1 pro (who went 0-9 from 3) and a bunch of plumbers. Don’t talk to me about the best coach in the country again
Iowa has landed a commitment from popular UT Rio Grande Valley wide receiver transfer Tony Diaz, his agent @flamp76 tells @CBSSports.
Diaz (@Tdiqz14) posted 67 catches, 881 yards and 11 touchdowns as a freshman this season.
Team USA left off the athlete who will be #2 in MVP voting.
Last week ESPN ranked Angel Reese above her in ROY race.
Never seen anything like it. Caitlin Clark just keeps her head down and works. Amazing example of focusing on what you can control & blocking out the noise.
Christie Sides has discovered spacing over the olympics. More importantly, stopped being a spectator & fixed the starting 5.
Guarding the Indiana Fever on a fastbreak is hell. But now Caitlin is dragging 3, to open Aliyah Jokic Boston drawing 2 and unlocking Lexie Iguodala Hull
Reporter: “Who do you think will be the biggest star [you face]?”
Kevin Durant: “Giannis or Nikola Jokic.”
Steph Curry: “Did you see the thing where they said the Dream Team played against 9 NBA players?”
KD: “We play 65 or 64...”

Colin Cowherd on Caitlin Clark
"The turnovers dont bother me"
TOs is a major flaw, but she's doing so many other positive things. Yet, people want to harp solely on TOs.
Numbers don't lie. She's putting up Top 5 player stats as a rookie
ROTY🔥🔥🔥🔥
The crowd was cheering for Caitlin Clark’s triple double and she told them to quiet down cause she was more focused on the win
She really got the mamba mentality
#WNBA
Answering a question about being the first Fever player to get a triple-double, Caitlin Clark gives credits to her teammates finished her passes.
Aliyah Boston interjects: “She’s so humble, isn’t she? That’s very cool, good job sister”
