Summary
Iowa’s basketball team defeated top-seeded Florida in the NCAA Tournament, upsetting fans who had the defending champs advancing to the Sweet 16. The Hawkeyes’ game-winning shot came after Florida’s coach, Todd Golden, attempted to execute a last-second strategy to foul Iowa. However, Iowa evaded the foul and set up a wide-open three-pointer, which was made by Alvaro Folgueiras, a player involved in controversy earlier in the matchup. Folgueiras was not ejected despite throwing a punch during a scuffle with Florida’s Alex Condon. The Hawkeyes will advance to the Sweet 16 to face Big Ten rival Nebraska.

The habit gets a new name.
Florida’s coach, Todd Golden, tried to outsmart Iowa with a last-second foul strategy, but it backfired. Iowa’s Alvaro Folgueiras made the game-winning shot despite being involved in controversy earlier. Folgueiras was not ejected, and his teammates trolled the Gators after the win. Iowa will face Nebraska in the Sweet 16. The real question is: what’s more surprising, the upset or the fact that Folgueiras didn’t get ejected?
