Next Up - Iowa In The Jimmy V Classic

Date 12/6 || Time 9:30 || Venue Madison Square Garden || Video ESPN

A lot of fans won’t remember or know this, but Iowa coach Fran McCaffrey started off at Wake Forest. His nickname then was White Magic and there was great anticipation to see him play.

He lasted just one season with Carl Tacy before heading back home to Philly, where he played for Penn. His dreams of athletic glory clashed with reality and after graduation, McCaffrey sensibly moved into coaching.

He’s a solid coach and did a tremendous job at Siena before moving to Iowa in 2010.
