2021–22 Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team

In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Hawkeyes finished the 2020–21 season 22–9, 14–6 in Big Ten play to finish in third place. They defeated Wisconsin in the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten tournament before losing to Illinois in the semifinals. The Hawkeyes received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 2 seed in the West region. They defeated Grand Canyon in the first round before losing to Oregon in the second round, ending their chances at their first Sweet Sixteen since 1999. Iowa spent all but two weeks of the season ranked in the top 10 of the AP poll and ended with a No. 8 ranking.

Senior center Luka Garza was named Big Ten Player of the Year{{cite web |title=2020–21 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Postseason Honors Announced |url=https://bigten.org/news/2021/3/9/general-2020-21-big-ten-mens-basketball-postseason-honors-announced.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210309180252/https://bigten.org/news/2021/3/9/general-2020-21-big-ten-mens-basketball-postseason-honors-announced.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 9, 2021 |publisher=Big Ten Conference |date=March 9, 2021 |access-date=July 14, 2021}} and a consensus All-American for the second consecutive season. He was also named the consensus National Player of the Year and ended his career with a school-record 2,306 points (seventh in Big Ten history). After his last home game in a Hawkeye uniform, it was announced that his No. 55 jersey would be retired. Senior guard Jordan Bohannon ended the season with school-records of 639 assists and 364 three-point field goals (second in Big Ten history).

Senior guard Jordan Bohannon announced on April 26 that he would return to Iowa taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility from the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web|title=Jordan Bohannon returning for another season with Iowa Hawkeyes|url=https://www.thegazette.com/sports/jordan-bohannon-returning-for-another-season-with-hawkeyes/|access-date=2021-07-14|date=2021-04-27|publisher=The Gazette|language=en}}
