PALM DESERT, Calif. — Iowa basketball swept its two-game trip on the West Coast, beating Ole Miss and Grand Canyon to capture an Acrisure Classic title. Bennett Stirtz, who dazzled with a 29-point outing in the win over the Rebels, was named MVP.

The Hawkeyes are now 7-0 on the season heading into the start of Big Ten play.
