Iowa Celebration — Photo: Dennis Scheidt

It was a historic day for the Iowa baseball and basketball teams on Saturday afternoon. The Hawkeye baseball team upset #1 LSU in a tournament down in Texas. We visit with Kyle Huesmann about the win and the impact it could have on the Iowa team, particularly later this season when they could be contending for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Speaking of the NCAA Tournament, the Iowa men’s basketball team rallied from down ten in the final minute to beat Michigan State in overtime. Iowa is now one of four teams in history to accomplish that feat. We look back at the win and the stare down with Fran McCaffery and an official. Then we wrap up previewing a huge women’s basketball game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday against Indiana with ESPN’s College GameDay in down.
