The eighth-ranked University of Iowa men’s gymnastics team shocked No. 4 Nebraska, 406.700-406.650, in the program’s final home meet inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Senior Bennet Huang won the all-around with a career-high 83.100. …

Coach JD Reive:

“I’m a little bit emotional, you could not have written a better Cinderella story ending. We were tied going into the final routine, which never happens; the probability of that is ridiculous.
