Iowa fans saw something unexpected in the loss to Illinois: when Bennett Stirtz sat with foul trouble, the Hawkeyes’ bench actually sparked a comeback. Tate Sage, Tavion Banks, and Cooper Koch combined for 36 points, outscoring the starters and nearly erasing a big deficit. It’s clear Iowa doesn’t have to lean so heavily on Stirtz to stay competitive. Maybe it’s time for Coach McCollum to trust the depth and spread the ball around more. What do you think—should Iowa keep riding their star, or let the supporting cast take the lead more often? #Sports #IowaBasketball #BigTen
