INDIANAPOLIS — For the second time in a week, an Iowa basketball team has won a Big Ten Tournament title in Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Iowa men’s basketball team won its first conference tournament title since 2006 by beating Purdue, 75-66, in the championship game on Sunday. This came a week after the Iowa women’s basketball team won the Big Ten Tournament on the same court. The Hawkeyes are champions and, for the second time in as many days, are trending on Twitter.
Here are some notable Tweets from Championship/Selection Sunday.

Iowa is just the 4th team ever to win 4 games in 4 days to win the Big Ten Tourney.
Pretty amazing to lose the National Player of the Year and then do this the very next season. Amazing job by Fran McCafferey and his staff.

Iowa won 12 of its last 14 games en route to a Big Ten tournament title.
The Hawkeyes average margin of victory since the start of February is 16.4 PPG.
If March is about playing your best basketball at the right time, then look no further than the team out of Iowa City.
