It’s been an up-and-down beginning to the season for Fran McCaffery and Iowa Basketball. A deflating loss to DePaul last week took any hype around the season away.

But this team is young. And things will take time to gel throughout the non-conference schedule. Or so we hope, at least.
Ahead of tonight’s game against North Florida, tipping at 6, and Sunday’s game against Cal Poly, which tips at 4 on Sunday, Fran McCaffery met with the media yesterday afternoon.
