It was exciting to see the Iowa basketball team make the 2019 NCAA Tournament for the first time in three seasons this past year. Despite struggling down the stretch, Iowa basketball fans were still excited about what could happen come tournament time and those hopes and dreams only strengthened when the Hawks defeated the Cincinnati Bearcats in the opening round.
Unfortunately, those dreams were dashed quickly when the #2 seeded Tennessee Volunteers jumped out to a huge lead in the first of their second-round game versus the Iowa basketball team.
Yet, the improbable happened. The Hawkeyes staged one of the best comebacks in tournament history to force the game into overtime.
