While the University of Iowa and Iowa State University men's basketball programs are idle this tournament season, the UNI Panthers move to 30-4 and reach their first Sweet 16 in program history. Congratulations to Ben Jacobsen and the Panthers. Our daughter is a junior at UNI.

The UNI women will face #1 seed today in the NCAA Tournament, when they face the Nebraska Cornhuskers in a homecoming for the two head coaches. UNI's Tonya Warren and Nebraska's Connie Yori, both native Iowans, were teammates from 1983 to '86 on Creighton University basketball team.

The Iowa State women are also in the women's tournament and will play today.

On Iowa!

Well, it's not quite the same this year in men's basketball!
