Iowa Men's Basketball justified its new place in the top 25 with a commanding victory

The new-look Iowa Men's Basketball squad has gotten off to a fast start under first-year Head Coach Ben McCollum.

McCollum came to Iowa City with a sparkling 424-95 overall record after a 16-year career at Northwest Missouri State (2009-2024) and Drake (2024), and has now added 11 more wins to his resume.

The No. 25 Iowa Hawkeyes welcomed the UMass River Hawks to Carver-Hawkeye Arena for a Monday night clash in Iowa City.

The Hawkeyes entered Monday night's game at No. 11 in the NET rankings (No. 4 in the Big Ten), and backed up that ranking with another dominating performance.
