Isaia Howard - College Basketball News & Rumors

Crashes glass in narrow loss Howard finished with 13 points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds and three steals across 41 minutes during Tuesday's 93-88 OT loss to Virginia Tech.

Impact Howard had notched three and five rebounds, respectively, in each of Iowa's first two games. He erupted for 15 in the loss to the Hokies, and also notched a season-high 13 points, hitting three triples in the process. Howard drew a lot of offseason hype in Iowa City; even in the loss, it was still good to see him author this kind of performance.

Most improved in team, option at PG Iowa's head coach Ben McCollum believes that Howard has improved the most since the end of last season and is an option at point guard, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Howard was a regular reserve last season for Iowa, whose 2025-26 season included massive success under team leader Bennett Stirtz and his supporting cast. But with the point guard Stirtz now a pro, that opens up an opportunity for someone else to fill his shoes. Howard improving the most this offseason has made him a legitimate candidate, and he should be able to better his sophomore season's production, featuring 5.1 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.

Grabs two steals off bench Howard provided two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Saturday's 78-57 loss to Purdue.

Impact Howard was quiet on the scoring front in the conference matchup against the Boilermakers, but he ended up playing well on the defensive side of the ball. The sophomore guard has been a steal machine so far this season, averaging 1.6 in his last 1.6 in his last seven games. He should remain a consistent rotator as the Hawkeyes close out the regular season.

Solid effort off bench Howard chipped in seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 73-72 victory over USC.

Impact Howard's performance won't jump off the stat sheet, but he helped Iowa significantly in the margins in an extremely narrow win over USC. His seven points were his most since Jan. 11, but he also provided a trio of rebounds, assists and steals with a block to boot. Howard has offered some valuable bench minutes for the Hawkeyes this season.

Solid effort off the bench Howard registered 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 70-67 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Howard hasn't stuffed the stat sheet for the Hawkeyes this season, but he's been a reliable presence off the bench and has now logged two straight games in which he's recorded 10-plus points and five-plus rebounds. He's also taken 10-plus shots in each of the last two games; the guard could be earning a bigger role as Big Ten play gets rolling for Iowa.

Impact Howard needed six shots to hit six points, but his inefficiency mattered little as Iowa rolled over Western Michigan. The bench guard also pulled down six rebounds, matching a season high. Howard has been valuable off the bench for the Hawkeyes this season, averaging 7.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
