Three weeks after Tate Schaefer was diagnosed with the cancer that he’d ultimately die fighting, Fran McCaffery’s team was wearing shirts for him.
Fran’s support of kids in the middle of unthinkable battles is such a massive part of his legacy at Iowa.
Honcho!
Can’t thank you enough for everything you did for me and the entire @IowaHoops program. One of the greats—there’s no better leader of men than you, Coach. Grateful for all the lessons, on and off the court.
Wishing you nothing but the best!
Fred Warner named to the AP First-Team All-Pro.

Insane that Kittle isn’t First-Team All-Pro. Absolutely insane.
