The 1944–45 Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team represented the University of Iowa in intercollegiate basketball during the 1944–45 season. The team finished the season with a 17–1 record[1] and was retroactively named the national champion by the Premo-Porretta Power Poll.[2]
Despite being Big Ten champions, Iowa declined a bid to the 8-team NCAA tournament.[3] The conference's bid went to Ohio State. The Buckeyes, who finished a game behind Iowa in the standings, defeated Kentucky to reach the Final Four.
