IOWA CITY, Iowa -- In a class of six newcomers on the University of Iowa men's basketball team, two of them share the same story -- Steven and Michael Soukup are identical twins who transferred to Iowa after two years at Southeastern Community College.
Both players started 31 games for the Blackhawks in 2014-15, but the the Danville, Iowa, natives were willing to leave playing time behind for the chance to play collegiate basketball at a Division I program.
"It was the opportunity to get to play at the highest level and to experience it first hand," Steven said.
