Ben McCollum on how he thinks prospective high school and portal players will perceive Iowa, considering what the program is accomplishing this season: “If you’re a tough dude, this is a good spot for you. If you’re soft and you like yourself way too much, this is probably not the spot for you. We just try to recruit tough dudes that want to be part of something bigger than themselves, and hopefully people see that.”

Caitlin Clark on deciding to throw the ball off Paige Bueckers late in the game: "The biggest thing at that point in the game is you just want the clock to go down. You don't want to give them the ball, but she had her back completely turned so I was just trying to waste some clock. It just came to my brain. So I just went for it and it kinda worked."

Ben McCollum: "We just told them, the day after that, unless it's media that's asking you questions, you're not allowed to talk about the Florida game. So, I don't want you to read social media about. I don't want you to drink the poison. We let them talk about it for five minutes in film the other day and they could goof around about all the things that went on. And then right when that five minutes was done, it's done, and we're on to Nebraska."

Kirk Ferentz confirms that he plans to coach Iowa in 2026: "26? That's next year, right? God, I hope so. Unless you know something I don't know. I just tell them (recruits) the truth. I feel really good. I had no idea what it feels like to be 70. Now I do (for) however many months it's been. It doesn't feel any different than when I was 60. I feel good physically. I've got permission from my wife to keep doing this. It's what I like doing. I really enjoy doing it. Unless we just screw this up beyond repair, which we're trying to do right now in college football, I don't envision stopping anytime in the near future. It's just what I do. I don't golf. When I did, I stunk. So I don't see going back to that. That's irreparable, too — my golf game."

Ben McCollum: "I think some coaches, they come in here and they (say), 'Ah, it's unacceptable.' And it is. We need to play hard. We need to play better than that. But you don't sit here and say, 'I'm embarrassed.' Because I'm not. I'm not embarrassed. They kicked our butt for us. I'm not embarrassed. It's a part of the process... We've got to keep fighting. We've got to keep competing. I'm not going to sit here and hang my head and pout. That's not what I do. I just fight harder, and we're going to fight harder."

Caitlin Clark: "Yeah, people will probably remember our two Final Fours and things like that. But people aren't gonna remember every single win or every single loss. I think they're just gonna remember the moments that they shared at one of our games. Or watching on TV. Or how excited their young daughter or son got about watching women's basketball. I think that's pretty cool. Those are the things that mean the most to me."

Caitlin Clark: "When you're in the spotlight like this there's gonna be a million different opinions on you. And for as many people that are going to love you, there's going to be people that don't like you. That's the case with every professional athlete, men or women, playing at the highest stage. And I think what I've been able to do over the course of my career is just focus on the opinions of the people inside our locker room. That's what I really care about. The people that I love to death. The people that have had my back every single second of my career."

Tate Sage, who was ranked tied for 365th in the 2025 class, scored 19 points in the Sweet 16 as a freshman: "My high school coach sent me a picture before the game. Right outside our locker door, it has a sign that says, 'Play like underdogs.' That was our saying in high school... He just reminded me of that. I carried that with me and kept that in my head all throughout today."

Caitlin Clark: "Yeah, I'm sad we lost this game. But I'm also so proud of myself. I'm so proud of my teammates. I'm so proud of this program. There's a lot to be proud of. But there's gonna be tears. It is sad that this is all over and this is the last time I'm gonna put on an Iowa jersey."

Lisa Bluder on Caitlin Clark: "I really think that when she came in as a freshman, she said, we're going to the Final Four. And a lot of people laughed at her. Maybe even laughed at her for coming to Iowa, quite honestly. But she believed. We believed. And she got everyone else in the locker room to believe."

Kirk Ferentz: "Just wanted to take one minute and congratulate coach McCollum and everybody involved in the men's basketball program. What a year they had. All the winter teams had great years, but the run they made in the tournament was just unbelievably fun to watch. I know everybody that follows the Hawks certainly enjoyed watching that. We certainly did — everybody in our program. Just a great, great effort and great performance by all those guys."

Ben McCollum: "Trying to get them to understand that you're not just a win-a-conference-tournament-game team. You're not just a make-the-NCAA-Tournament team. You need to be able to win those games... Trying to go from really good to being great is something that is really hard to do and our kids need to understand really good is not acceptable. It's actually worse than being just bad."

Bennett Stirtz reflecting on last season at Iowa: "When we were at rock bottom, when we were losing three straight games, we stuck together as a team. Everything’s not going to be sunshine and rainbows. You’ve got to go through the struggle. I think the struggle and suffering changes you. So just seeing what we’ve been through and what we made it to — close to our goal — I think that was super special. And then, the relationships that I had was something that I’ll never let go.”

Caitlin Clark: "I hope (fans) remember how we made them feel. How we brought joy to their lives. How we gave their families something to scream about on the TV on the weekends. I hope those are the biggest things that people remember. I hope all the young boys and girls remember the joy that we played with. And how we took 10 seconds of our time to sign (our) autograph and that inspired them to be whatever they want to be.”

Lisa Bluder on Hannah Stuelke: "Honestly, the only thing that stopped her from being great was her own self. It was her own doubt. And she is a beautiful athlete, an explosive athlete and she just held herself back. So we're trying to talk to her about positive self-talk, instead of negative self-talk and kept pouring into her about — you can do this."

Michigan coach Dusty May: “I grew up watching Dr. Tom Davis’ teams. The pressing, the energy. So my perception of Iowa basketball is this and with what they have going on now, it’s going to look like this frequently, in my opinion… This is a really good Big Ten environment and it’s only going to get better.”

Ben McCollum: “That’s where we’re at right now: A middle tier team that’s not beating the teams that we’re supposed to beat. But then we’ll gear up for big games. And so, we need to be a team that makes sure to take care of business in every game. We’re still building that.”

Ben McCollum shared this story about Brendan Hausen. Against Ole Miss, Hausen was supposed to check into the game, but Cooper Koch was playing so well that Hausen thought it would be better for Koch stay on the floor:“Brendan came back and he said, ‘Let’s just leave him in.’ That’s a senior that’s played extended minutes at a high level that did that. I’m thankful for guys like him. We’re blessed to be able to coach guys like him that allows us to be great. His ability to sacrifice and everybody on this team’s ability to sacrifice is pretty special.”
