Luka Garza’s 2019-2020 season at Iowa was one of the best in program history. It was good enough to earn him National Player of the Year honors by six national media outlets and Big Ten Player of the Year.
Now, with the deadline to withdraw from the NBA Draft just a day away, there are no pending decisions which will have a bigger impact on the college basketball landscape than Garza’s. With him back in Iowa City, the Hawkeyes are the odds on favorite to win their first Big Ten Regular Season Conference Championship since 1979 and a preseason top-5 team nationally.
