Ben McCollum is at his best in the final 24 hours before tip-off, when he crams for the test and usually finds the answers.

An inside look at what that looks like for @IowaHoops (free for all to read): https://t.co/eeFSuID71H

@GoodmanHoops Wow, that guy is a pretty good coach.

[College Basketball Report @CBKReport]

Ben McCollum is doing one of the best coaching jobs in the country in Year 1 at Iowa.

With just one returnee and a nine-man rotation featuring seven mid-major transfers, McCollum has the Hawkeyes ranked in the top 20 of both KenPom’s offensive and defensive ratings — one of only nine programs to do so.

The last time Iowa had a top-75 defense was in 2016, let alone a top-25 unit.

The future is bright in Iowa City.

Sources: Iowa has agreed to a deal to make Drake coach Ben McCollum the school’s next coach, per me and ⁦@jeffborzello⁩. He won four Division II national titles at Northwest Missouri State prior to leading Drake (31-4) to the NCAA Tournament in his lone season there.
