Is this heaven?
No,
No,
This season just keeps getting better and better. Those last 10 games when they were losing by 3 points it seemed every game was a downer and now talk about the proverbial rebound.
Yooossseerrr
I am telling u this was unreal. After a horrible start these guys took control. What a great group. These guys CAN do it. Fantastic!!
We broke Nebby's will at the end.ir's real!
What a glorious night!
Thank you Hawkeyes for making the NCAA Tournament special.

And to think we had folks declaring this season a “disappointment” after the Penn State game. 
I wasn’t alive when they made it this far the last time. Can’t remember 99 and the sweet 16.What a glorious night!
Thank you Hawkeyes for making the NCAA Tournament special.

I'm old enough to remember the 1987 Tournament and I feel the same.
Well we wanted Devries according to Indiana fans and they got him from us. LOL.My gosh, did Beth get the right coach a year ago or what?

39 long freakin' years....
Too dang long but worth the wait.
Iowa was tilted all year by idiotic or corrupt big ten refs. This is in reality a 28 win team. Iowa with a fair whistle = dangerous as hell.
“What an epic collapse” “not even going to make the tournament now” what a bunch of clowns! I said it all along, if you were another team in the tournament would you want to play us? Well we’re seeing the answer and the reason why, cause we play unselfish ball, have a damn good PG and are tough as nails!And to think we had folks declaring this season a “disappointment” after the Penn State game.
the dickheads at espn simply will not allow iowa to make it to the elite 8 apparently

Ben McCollum has the Iowa Hawkeyes one win away from the Final4.
In his first season.
Fielding a slightly better than an MVC squad.

just 4 Little Debbie defenders.....
oops!
oops!
I have one thing to say. Fu$k Connor McCaffery!!!!!!!!
yeah, he's been very quiet for a while....LOL
If you’re not a Ben believer, this alone should do it. The guy does it everywhere he has been….and now he’s done it at the highest level with a team of players that mainly followed him from a mid-major.Ben McCollum has the Iowa Hawkeyes one win away from the Final4.
In his first season.
Fielding a slightly better than an MVC squad.
Celebrate for an hour and then pivot to the next game
1 win away from the first Final Four in 46 years.
How amazing will an Iowa vs ISU CyHawk national championship game be?
