The 2025-26 Iowa men's basketball season is approaching, with the first game just 20 days away.
After a disappointing 2024-25 campaign, longtime head coach Fran McCaffery was fired and replaced by Ben McCollum, formerly the head coach at Drake.
McCollum has an impressive record, with 426 wins and 95 losses in 16 seasons as a collegiate head coach.
His move to Iowa City will present a unique challenge, despite the proximity to his previous position in Des Moines.
Des Moines and Iowa City are separated by just 90 minutes, but the difference between the two programs is massive.
Author's summary: Iowa men's basketball season starts soon.
