The University of Iowa has a decorated basketball tradition. Dating back to the 1902 season, the Hawkeyes have been gracing the hardwood.
Iowa is once again tracking to take part in March Madness. The Hawkeyes have made the NCAA Tournament 28 times in their history. On three occasions Iowa has advanced to the Final Four. In addition to those Final Four appearances, Iowa has also advanced to another Elite Eight and four more Sweet 16’s.
Under current head coach Fran McCaffery, the Hawkeyes have been a staple in the annual postseason extravaganza. Prior to the 2022-23 men’s college basketball season, Iowa has made six NCAA Tournament appearances under McCaffery.
The Hawkeyes have also routinely finished above the 20-win plateau during McCaffery’s reign. Iowa has finished with 20 or more wins eight times under McCaffery, including each of the past four seasons.
Along the way, there have been some incredible individual players both under McCaffery and before. Which players are the best of the best to ever don the black and gold?
