IOWA CITY, Iowa -- When University of Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery had the opportunity to add the Advocare Invitational to the Hawkeyes’ nonconference schedule, he jumped on it.
He did it for the exposure and opportunity. It will be an early season NCAA Tournament resume-building opportunity when Iowa takes the court this week at the HP Field House in Orlando.
Five of the eight teams in the field -- Dayton, Iowa, Notre Dame, Wichita State, and Xavier -- were NCAA Tournament teams a season ago.
