Highlights from men’s practice



Realistically, where will this team wind up in the standings of the expanded B1G? I admit, I know nothing about the players on this team or what they might be capable of.
 




Based on the info coming out of the scrimmages against St. Louis and T. Tech, teams are just going to blitz Stirtz with bodies all over the court. What happens when the ball isn’t in his hands will dictate the season.

Check with most bracketologist, they have Iowa anywhere between a 8 and 10 seed. Conference play that translates into finishing anywhere from 8-12.
 


From The Athlete:

Which high-major team that missed last season’s NCAA Tournament will make it in 2026?​

NC State4
Iowa3
Ohio State2
Indiana1
Providence1
Virginia1

Iowa: This is a bet on Ben and Bennett to instantly restore energy and hope in a program that got increasingly stale under Fran McCaffery and missed the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons. That’s coach Ben McCollum and point guard Bennett Stirtz, the duo who led Drake to a 31-4 season in 2024-25, including an NCAA tourney win over Missouri. They give Iowa one of the bright young coaches in the game and perhaps the best point guard this season. Is there enough around them? Tavion Banks (Drake), Alvaro Folgueiras (Robert Morris) and sharpshooter Brendan Hausen (Kansas State) will have to do a lot. But Iowa is going to defend. That’s for sure. And that’s a big, needed change. — Joe Rexrode
