Iowa vs Florida

Iowa pulled off a stunning upset over No. 1 seed Florida in the NCAA Tournament Second Round, winning 73-72 at a neutral site. The Hawkeyes trailed by as much as 12 points but refused to quit, with the lead changing hands six times throughout this thriller. Bennett Stirtz delivered the dagger with a clutch jump shot at 0:58 to put Iowa ahead 71-70, and after Isaiah Brown's free throw tied it at 72, Alvaro Folgueiras buried a 3-pointer from 23 feet with just four seconds left to seal the 73-72 victory. Florida fought back hard in the second half, mounting a devastating 9-1 run to take a 60-58 lead and erase Iowa's earlier dominance. But the Gators couldn't close the deal down the stretch, unable to answer Folgueiras's heroic shot. For Iowa, this 10-point underdog victory ranks as one of the most improbable comebacks of the tournament—surviving a Gators team that had controlled much of the game to advance with ice in their veins.
