Today’s good guy award goes to Jordan Bohannon. He’s Iowa’s sophomore point guard that had a chance to break their all-time record for consecutive free throws made in the Hawkeye’s Sunday night game against Northwestern. Bohannon had made 34 straight free throws and was tied with the record held by the late Chris Street.
Street was an Iowa legend that was killed in a car crash in 1993, three days after he hit his 34th consecutive free throw. Bohannon has grown close with the Street family, and he didn’t want to erase Chris’s name from the record book so he left his FT short.
“That’s not my record to have,” Bohannon said after the game. “That record deserves to stay in his name.”

Street’s parents, Mike and Patty, attended the game and after it’s conclusion, embraced Bohannon on the court. “What a good kid. He’s so kind,” Patty said. “That was so special that he thought of Christopher and that record.”
Iowa ended up winning 77-70. Bohannon finished with 25 points and helped rekindle the memory of a fallen star.
