The Iowa Hawkeyes (12-2, 2-1) head to Dinkytown to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers (9-5, 2-1) where Niko Medved and company are undefeated (8-0) on the season. The Goofers have a few … spotty losses (San Francisco, Stanford, Santa Clara) but took down Indiana at The Barn.
Got to this guy late so we’ll keep it brief: Cade Tyson, a North Carolina transfer, leads the conference at 22.1 points/game on 52.9% shooting & 39.7% from 3. He lives at the free throw line. Iowa was able to largely shut down
Tyler Bilodeau but it will be a different challenge on the road.
Bit of trivia – the Hawks play Cade’s older brother, Hunter (while he was at Clemson.
Jaylen Crocker-Johnson (13.0) and Isaac Asuma (10.4) join Tyson in double figures. Asuma leads the team in assists at 4.4.
