In a rivalry game that lived up to the hype, Iowa hands Nebraska more misery, 77-71. THE HAWKEYES ARE GOING TO THE ELITE EIGHT!
Bennett Stirtz scored 20, Tate Sage 19 off the bench, and Alvaro Folgueiras made more big-time plays with 16 points. Pryce Sandfort had 25 for Nebraska.
Iowa is going back to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1987. Lowest Big Ten seed to ever go this far. The 9-seed will play Illinois or Houston.
Wow!

Had a great team meal tonight before tomorrow’s State Qualifying meet. Thanks to the Nevitt’s and Cordaro’s for a great meal, and to Father Amadeo for the blessing! Excited to attack tomorrow!

High energy combo guard that is always in passing lane causing multiple steals each game & uses his quickness to finish around the rim. Great defensive discipline when pressing the ball-handler.
