March Madness Game-Changers: Which 10 Players Could Rewrite Final Four History?
Bennett Stirtz, Iowa
Already a standout player previously in his career at Drake, Stirtz followed coach Ben McCollum to the Hawkeyes and has found another level. He played every minute in each of Iowa’s first two tournament games — an astounding measure of endurance he’s replicated 16 times this season. Stirtz didn’t score a much last weekend; just 29 points total, but he’s exploded for a career-best 36 in a Big Ten game against Northwestern and showed he’ll volume-shoot if necessary in a 23-shot effort against Michigan. That game marked one of the six this season in which Stirtz hoisted 20 or more field-goal attempts.
