Iowa’s thin rotation got even thinner in the 23rd ranked Hawkeyes 89-86 loss to 21st ranked Penn State in Philadelphia. Freshman guard C.J. Fredrick did not play in the second half with what coach Fran McCaffery called a foot or ankle injury.
Luka Garza scored 34 points and Joe Wieskamp added 23 in the loss.
McCaffery says he was proud of the effort.
