Iowa basketball, Ben McCollum stare down Cy-Hawk in ESPN Bracketology

Things are looking up for the Iowa Hawkeyes men’s basketball program right now. Ben McCollum is getting great production from his transfers, and the bracketology updates are really starting to like what Iowa has done as of late during a five-game winning streak in the Big Ten.

The ESPN NCAA Tournament bracketology update is liking the Hawkeyes as well. In the latest projections, Iowa is climbing a seed line and is now staring at a potential Cy-Hawk rematch with the Iowa State Cyclones in the second round for a spot in the Sweet 16.
