The Iowa Men's Basketball squad is off to a hot 5-0 start in Ben McCollum's first season in Iowa City.
The Hawkeyes have used efficient offense and pressure defense to be successful through the first five games, albeit against weaker competition.
Iowa ranks No. 1 overall in college basketball in field goal percentage (57.9) and No. 25 in three-point percentage (40.7).
The Hawkeyes are also outscoring opponents by 24.8 points per game (No. 50 overall), and holding their opponents to 64.8 points per game (No. 27 overall).
McCollum has his guys focused and locked in to start the season, and it helps when you bring the 2024 Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and 2025 preseason All-Big Ten First-Team selection Bennett Stirtz with you.
