THIS is the Iowa squad we have been hoping for after hiring Ben McCollum in March.
While it is only game one, the Hawkeye Men's Basketball squad gave us hope that they will be solid on both ends of the floor this season.
Multiple times in the past under Fran McCaffery, Iowa had a potent offensive attack, but lacked effort on the glass and on defense.
The Hawkeyes shut down Robert Morris in a dominating 101-69 win, forcing 23 turnovers in a dominating defensive performance.
In a crowd full of yellow ties, Iowa gave McCollum his first of hopefully many wins this season and in the future.
