A rough week continues to get worse for the Iowa men’s basketball team. After falling in double overtime to Penn State on Monday, the Hawkeyes had their flight to Columbus cancelled Wednesday due to inclement weather with Thursday night’s game postponed.
Now, with a home showdown against the Minnesota Golden Gophers looming on Sunday, Fran McCaffery has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be on the bench for Iowa’s critical home matchup.
Per the Iowa Sports Information Department, assistant coach Billy Taylor will assume head coaching duties for Sunday’s matchup leaving Kirk Speraw and Sherm Dillard in their roles as assistants.
