Iowa men fall to Illinois at B1G Tournament
Iowa's run ended at the Big Ten Tournament against Illinois. The Illini shot 54 percent and outrebounded the Hawkeyes 41-24 in a 106-94 win. Payton Sandfort led Iowa with 30 points and coach Fran McCaffery was ejected midway through the second half. McCaffery got his first technical foul with 13:33 remaining and the Hawkeyes trailing 69-60. Seconds later he was ejected. The Hawkeyes are 17-16 and will wait to see if there are any tournament opportunities. When asked about his future McCaffery says he intends to be the coach next season and hopes a solid incoming recruiting class will blend with several veterans. McCaffery was asked if the program has the resources needed to compete for a Big Ten title. Sandfort finished eight of 13 from three-point range in what could be his final game in an Iowa uniform.
