While the Iowa Men's Basketball squad sits outside the Top 25 before the 2025-2026 season, expectations are high in Head Coach Ben McCollum's first season in Iowa City.
McCollum has been successful at every stop he has made, holding a career record of 426-95 overall at Northwest Missouri State and Drake, as well as four Division II National Championship titles.
Iowa has 12 new players on the roster this season, including 2024 Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer and Player of the Year Bennett Stirtz and 2024 Horizon League Player of the Year Alvaro Folgueiras.
