I believe the last time @IowaHoops beat a No. 1 seed in an NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament came in 1980 regional semifinals against top-seed Syracuse. #Hawkeyes
Storm coverage is increasing, especially south of I-80 and storms are expected in the Des Moines metro in the next hour. There are currently no warnings out, but storms may intensify through the evening. #IAwx

Not since 1968 has Des Moines seen this much #snow in a November storm. 9.9" so far ranks as the 3rd biggest November snowstorm on #record in 140 years.
And that's 70% of what fell all of last season!
Mark Gronowski is the first Iowa QB to rush for a TD in four straight games within a single season since Larry Lawrence had a 4-game streak to end the 1968 season.
