NCAA Tournament: No 9 seed Iowa upset Nebraska to continue fairytale run

• Hawkeyes had already beaten No 1 Florida

• Alvaro Folgueiras shines again for Iowa

• No 11 Texas almost shock No 2 Purdue

Alvaro Folgueiras converted a critical three-point play when Nebraska only had four defenders on the floor, and ninth-seeded Iowa continued their unpredictable NCAA Tournament run under first-year coach Ben McCollum, beating Nebraska 77-71 in the Sweet Sixteen on Thursday night.

Bennett Stirtz scored 20 points and Folgueiras had 16 for the Hawkeyes (24-12), who knocked off top-seeded Florida in the second round on Folgueiras’ three-pointer in the closing seconds.
