Stirtz scores 22 as Iowa beats Washington 84-74, extends win streak to 5 games

Bennett Stirtz hit four 3-pointers and finished with 22 points, Alvaro Folgueiras scored 16 points, and Iowa beat Washington 84-74 for its fifth consecutive win

FEBRUARY 5 • Associated Press

Highly productive off bench Folgueiras totaled 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Sunday's 84-66 victory over Oregon.

Impact Folgueiras has caught fire off the bench for the Hawkeyes recently. He notched 14 points in the narrow win over USC, shooting 50 percent from the field, and followed that up with this 15-point showing in Eugene in which he also did work on the glass with eight rebounds, and as a passer with three assists. The junior forward could be heating up at the right time for Iowa, for which every game counts in the battle to remain on the NCAA Tournament bubble.

Bennett Stirtz scores 20 points, makes two clutch free throws as Iowa survives against USC, 73-72

Bennett Stirtz scored 20 points, including two free throws with 4.6 seconds remaining, as Iowa survived USC’s comeback bid to win 73-72 on Wednesday night

Out of starting five Wednesday Folgueiras is out of Iowa's starting five on Wednesday at Purdue, per Tyler Tachman of the Des Moines Register.

Impact Folgueiras made his first start of the season in the loss to Illinois, but he'll come off the bench once again. Tavon Banks will re-enter the starting five for the Hawkeyes.

Eight and eight in first start Folgueiras supplied eight points (2-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 75-69 loss to Illinois.

Impact Folgueiras notched his first start of the 2025-26 campaign in the loss to Illinois, and while he was active on the glass with eight boards, he struggled as a scorer, needing nine shots to tally eight points. The junior forward has been largely efficient this season, but it was a bad time to go cold from the field against a tough Illinois team. Folgueiras will look to bounce back in another tough matchup at Purdue on Jan. 14.

Remains solid off the bench Folgueiras totaled 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 15 minutes during Sunday's 91-51 victory over Western Michigan.

Impact Folgueiras has been another very solid piece for Iowa off the bench, particularly as a shooter: he's shooting 43.3 percent from downtown at 6-foot-10. Iowa has plenty of players coming off the bench who can hit threes and stretch the floor, part of what's made the Hawkeyes dangerous in their good start under first-year head coach Ben McCollum.

Another strong showing Folgueiras produced 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 93-54 win over Chicago State.

Impact Folgueiras played very well against Chicago State, and posted a very similar stat line to the previous game against Southeast Missouri. In his last two contests, he's 6-of-10 from beyond the arc as well. The 6-foot-10 forward has consistently improved as a three-point shooter in each year of his career, and he looks to be a dangerous weapon for the Hawkeyes.
