Hawkeye Report Podcast 687

It's a special edition of the Hawkeye Report Podcast as we are joined by Payton Sandfort. It's a nearly 45 minute conversation with the former Iowa great about his career, this past season, his injuries, his brother transferring to Nebraska, and a whole lot more.  We open the podcast with the end and Sandfort discusses being named the winner of the Chris Street Award this year and what it means to him. He also discusses being able to meet Street's parents and getting to know them over the  years. Then he goes into great detail about the number of injuries that he played with this past season and how he has told at one point that he might have to shut things down during Big Ten play and how he actually was able to finish up the season and leave everything out on the floor against Illinois.  We discuss the very emotional end to the season and know that it would be the last time that he would play with his brother, Pryce, and what it was like in the locker room following that game against Illinois.  We talk about all his memories of being a Hawkeye and the great moments along the way, including the big plays and wins over Michigan, Michigan State, and many others. We look back at the Big Ten Tournament title and his huge contributions to that along with what he learned from playing with Keegan and Kris Murray and how that helped him as a leader.
