NCAA Basketball: 10 best players from state of Iowa of last decade

Over the years, NCAA basketball has given us a fair of share of impact moments, teams, and players. Games are played for months leading up to the NCAA Tournament, which always delivers us these unforgettable moments. The tireless hours in the gym, on the court, and everywhere in between by these players represent all their hard work, and a lucky few get the ultimate payoff at the end of March Madness.

These players get their chance to shine, but not everyone gets this moment in the sun. Today we’ll be continued this extended series looking into the best college basketball players from each state over the last decade. Not everyone gets that chance to shine, and few high school basketball players even get a chance at the collegiate level. Today we’ll be looking at the players who do get that chance and have shined from the state of Iowa.

This state is home to some impressive basketball and has produced perhaps more exciting basketball players than most would think. There’s more than just corn in Iowa, and this will become more evident as we run through this list. These players have made monumental impacts on some great programs, and these aren’t just programs in the state of Iowa; though the Hawkeyes themselves are well represented.

This is an extra reminder that this specific piece is on the players from the state of Iowa, meaning those whose hometowns are listed as being from this state. This isn’t a piece about the best Hawkeyes in recent years, nor will we include players who just attended high school in the state. There’s plenty of talent featured in this piece, meaning a whole lot of great players missed the cut. Without further ado, let’s start naming some of these top players from Iowa.
