Iowa's Bennett Stritt Goes for a Massive Slam as AP All-American Center!
Bennett Stirtz, the Iowa Hawkeyes' star guard, has received an AP All-American nod.
He's a star wherever he goes! The Iowa Hawkeyes saw Bennett Stirtz follow head coach Ben McCollum to Iowa City when they both came from Drake, and he has delivered everything they had hoped for and then some. He has been a huge part of the reason Iowa has turned things around so quickly in McCCollum's first year as the Hawkeyes' head coach, and they are making a return to the NCAA Tournament.
On the way to doing that, Bennett Stirtz put up some fantastic numbers all year long. Playing nearly every minute of every game, while averaging 20 points, 5. 7 assists, and 4.
3 rebounds per game, Stirtz has earned a nod as an AP All-American Honorable Mention. ๐ผ๐ก๐ก-๐ผ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ ๐บ๐ธ Bennett Stirtz has been named an AP All-American (honorable mention). ๐ pic.
