What T.J. Otzelberger has accomplished at Iowa State deserves more recognition.
He took over a program that went 2-22 (0-18 in the Big 12) DURING COVID (!)
Since then, the transformation has been remarkable:
Year 1: 22-13 (11-seed | Sweet 16 app.)
Year 2: 19-14 (6-seed | Round of 64)
Year 3: 29-8 (2-seed | Sweet 16 app.)
Year 4: 14-1 (Ranked No. 2, the highest ranking in program history)
Coach Otz has turned Iowa State into a powerhouse. 🌪️
