Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball
The Iowa Hawkeyes were once a force to be reckoned with in college basketball on the national stage, finishing runner-up at the NCAA March Madness postseason tournament in 1956 after losing 83-71 to Bill Russell’s undefeated San Francisco Dons. The closest that the Hawkeyes have been to reaching such heights again have been a pair of Final Four appearances in 1956 and 1980. Recent seasons have seen the team have some success at conference level, qualifying quite frequently for March Madness but struggling to get past the opening round. Hawkeyes fans will be hoping for a breakthrough in 2024.
