Iowa Men's Basketball soars into the AP Top 25 for the first time under Ben McCollum

Iowa hoops fans were hoping the new-look squad would succeed in the first year under new Head Coach Ben McCollum, and they are off to a hot start.

The Hawkeyes have won 10 of their first 12 games, with their two losses coming at the hands of No. 7 Michigan State and No. 4 Iowa State.

Iowa is coming off a 94-39 blowout win over Bucknell at the Casey's Center in Des Moines, Iowa, last weekend, and the squad returns to Carver-Hawkeye Arena for its final matchup of 2025 next week.

After Iowa's 55-point win over the Bison last Saturday, they soared into the AP Top 25 rankings for the first time in the McCollum era.
