Iowa basketball’s Alvaro Folgueiras part of double-technical foul vs. Florida
Iowa's Alvaro Folgueiras was involved in a tense moment with Florida's Alex Condon in the NCAA Tournament's second round.
Understandably, tensions are high in Tampa, Fla. Iowa is vying for its first Sweet 16 berth since 1999. The Florida Gators are fighting for back-to-back national championships.
So, when Iowa junior forward Alvaro Folgueiras and Florida junior forward Alex Condon got tied up in the opening half, tempers boiled over quickly. Just past the first half's midway point with Iowa leading 19-13, Folgueiras and Condon went tumbling to the floor as they fought for the basketball. Condon appeared to pull Folgueiras down to the floor with him.
Folgueiras retaliated by closing his fist and nearly punching the basketball. Tensions are high in Tampa. Iowa & Florida had to be separated after this play.
