CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — The #11 college team of the century is the 2018-2019 Kirkwood men’s basketball team. The Eagles went 31-4 that season, and won the NJCAA DII national championship.
Doug Wilson was named the NJCAA national player of the year, and went on to have an incredible career at South Dakota State where he won Summit League player of the year.
Kirkwood coach Bryan Peterson also went to SDSU where he was recently named head coach.
This year we’re celebrating the best of the best from the sports world in Eastern Iowa over the last 25 years. The over-arcing theme of this series will be “The Stories of the Century”. During this year, we’ll count down the top 25 athletes, coaches, and teams from the past 25 years.
The year will be divided up into fourths, with the first portion of the year being dedicated to the best teams (both high school and college) from the last 25 years.
Every Monday we’ll be releasing two more prep teams, and every Wednesday we’ll announce two college teams who will be added to the list.
