## Caption

The news of #BenMcCollum’s hiring, which popped Monday morning, had already energized a ready-to-awaken fan base that watched him run circles around #Missouri in the NCAA Tournament, in what would become McCollum’s 31st win and penultimate game as #Drake’s coach. And just hours before Tuesday afternoon’s official introduction came the expected-but-seismic confirmation that one of the #NCAA Tournament’s first-weekend stars, Bennett Stirtz, was planning to follow McCollum to #IowaCity for his senior season. Combine those boosts with some of the impressive interview clips that had been circulated in recent days, and it was a stone-cold lock that McCollum would decidedly “win the press conference” in his first public remarks as the #Hawkeyes’ new coach. He, in fact, dominated the press conference. To read more on what our Hawkeye columnist has to say, tap the link in our bio. #fyp #iowa #Iowacheck #Iowafyp
