IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Ryan Bowen may have left his position as the University of Iowa men's basketball team's video coordinator, but that doesn't stop the former Hawkeye from keeping a close tab on his alma mater. They say, 'Once a Hawkeye, Always a Hawkeye' and that holds true for Bowen.

During Iowa's first round game against Dayton in the NIT, it was hard for Bowen not to keep a close eye on the Hawkeyes' first postseason game since 2006. Bowen, a member of the Denver Nuggets coaching staff, had a home game against the Atlanta Hawks the same night.

"I remember watching some of the Iowa game before walking out to the court and sneaking in some peeks at halftime of our game," said Bowen. "When the Iowa game ended, our media relations guy wrote the score on a piece of paper and flashed me the score while our game was still going on."

Bowen said he still keeps in close contact with the Hawkeye coaches and players.

"To hear and see how their season ended, especially with how well the guys played and how outstanding the fans were, was great to see," he said. "It was fantastic to read about how tremendous the Carver-Hawkeye Arena crowds were the final month of the season. It's exciting to see that. The team built up some momentum heading into next year, and I wish them all the best in the future."
