With the start of college basketball season coming in early November, we’ll be taking a long look at the conference at large as well as Indiana’s roster over the next month. Today, our team previews continue with a look at Iowa.
A new era of Iowa basketball begins this fall without Luka Garza and Joe Wieskamp.
Garza, the national player of the year last season, is now on a two-way contract with the Detroit Pistons. Wieskamp also landed a two-way contract as a rookie with the San Antonio Spurs.
There will be no replacing such a productive duo for Fran McCaffery, who still hasn’t led Iowa past the second round of the NCAA tournament in 11 seasons.
