The duo of Keith Murphy and Andy Fales has for decades been an institution for sports fans looking for thoughtful discourse in the state of Iowa. For 15 years, “Murph & Andy” dominated the airways of KXnO Radio and now will be heard exclusively on Iowa Everywhere.
Keith Murphy and Andy Fales are back with a Fun Friday edition of Murph & Andy on Iowa Everywhere, covering the biggest sports stories across Iowa and beyond.
The show starts with one of the wildest high school basketball finishes you’ll ever see – Dallas Center-Grimes’ Ava Smith scoring six points in just 14 seconds to stun Norwalk in the Iowa Girls State Basketball Tournament. The incredible sequence goes viral and sparks a discussion about clutch moments and unforgettable high school sports drama.
Murph and Andy also dive into the growing engagement from Iowa Hawkeye fans, especially after a competitive atmosphere at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The guys discuss the progress under head coach Ben McCollum, what the fan energy means for the future of Iowa basketball, and how the program can take the next step in the Big Ten.
Over in Ames, the conversation turns to Iowa State basketball and senior day, highlighting Cyclone leader Tamin Lipsey – a rare four-year starter who stayed at his hometown school and became one of the most respected players in the program. The guys reflect on loyalty in the era of the transfer portal and why players like Lipsey are becoming increasingly rare.
The episode also checks in on Drake basketball at the Missouri Valley Tournament, where the Bulldogs continue their recent dominance at Arch Madness while trying to keep their postseason hopes alive.
