In the second round of the NCAA March Madness tournament, Iowa head coach Ben McCollum and Florida head coach Todd Golden nearly engaged into verbal warfare during a timeout. The incident occurred during a heated game between No. 9 seed Iowa and No. 1 seed Florida, where Florida's Alex Condon and Iowa's Alvaro Folgueiras were involved in a tussle during a rebound attempt, which resulted in technical fouls being called on each player. Both coaches were not pleased with the double-tension, feeling the extra punishment should have been given to the Hawkeyes.
