IOWA RUMORS & GOSSIP
COMMIT: 2015 SF Brandon Hutton to Iowa
Despite a heart-breaking Saturday loss to Illinois, fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes still had some positive news over the weekend. After Saturday’s pledge by junior college point guard Trey Dickerson, the Hawkeyes landed a pledge from junior small forward Brandon Hutton of De La Salle (IL) to start their 2015 recruiting class. The pledge by Hutton was reported ...

Fran McCaffery on Hawkeyes Tourney profile: “I’m not Joe Lunardi”
Fran McCaffery and his #24 Iowa Hawkeyes are likely in the NCAA Tournament. They will fall out of the polls, deservedly, after losing a Senior Night game in which they were favored by 12. But I still think they’re good to go dancing even if they get knocked out of the first round of the Big Ten Tournament this week.
The Hawkeyes lost in dramatic fashion to an Illinois Fighting...

Iowa’s McCabe throws down MSU’s Trice, gets T’d up
Iowa Hawkeyes’ Zach McCabe took the Big Ten physical play a bit too far when he tossed Michigan State’s Travis Trice to the ground. McCabe was given a technical foul and deservedly so, no reason to lock up an opponent’s arm and throw him to the ground.

Why didn’t Melsahn Basabe take the floor?
Iowa senior forward Melsahn Basabe, who averages 6.3 rebounds per game, did not play in Tuesday’s loss to Minnesota because of a stomach illness.

Iowa's McCaffery tells players to get off Twitter
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery has instructed the Hawkeyes to shut down their Twitter accounts for the rest of the season after senior Zach McCabe exchanged barbs with detractors on the social media service.
McCabe air-balled a 3-pointer that could have tied the game with 16 seconds left against Wisconsin on Saturday. The 20th-ranked Hawkeyes went on to lose 79-74.

Indiana-Iowa basketball game postponed due to Assembly Hall roof issues
The Indiana Hoosiers-Iowa Hawkeyes basketball game was postponed on Tuesday night because of some roof issues at Assembly Hall. More specifically a piece of tin fell from the roof into the stands. Looks like those $40 Million renovations can’t come soon enough. Somewhere Tom Crean is screaming at the roof “you ruined our program!!!!!”

Iowa Hawkeyes Bursting onto National Scene
In recent memory, the Iowa Hawkeyes basketball program has been an afterthought as far as the Big Ten Conference is concerned.
Over the last two weeks, all of that has changed.
First, a lot of Iowa’s notoriety came as a result of head coach Fran McCaffery’s colossal sideline meltdown versus Wisconsin back in early January. He was suspended one game by the Big Ten.
