2020-21 IOWA HAWKEYES ROSTER


Fran McCaffery, who is signed through the 2024 sea-son, is in his 1th season as the head basketball coach at the University of Iowa and his 25th year overall as a college head coach. McCaffery has reached the 20-win plateau nine of the last 13 seasons, including four of the last six years. McCaffery spent five seasons (2005-10) as the head coach at Siena, six years at UNC-Greensboro (1999-2005) and three seasons at Lehigh (1985-88) before joining the Hawkeyes. McCaffery has over three decades of Division I coaching experience. He concluded his 38th sea-son as a collegiate coach in 2020, which includes 24 years as a head coach and 14 as an assistant. McCaffery is one of 14 coaches to lead at least four different Division I teams to the NCAA Tournament. McCaffery, 61, holds a career mark of 456-322 (.586) and guided his teams to 12 postseason appearances (nine NCAA & four NIT). Iowa likely would have competed in another NCAA Tournament in 2020, if not for the NCAA canceling the postseason due to COVID-19. He is 205-145 (.585) at Iowa; the second winningest coach in program history. McCaffery led Iowa to wins in three of the last five NCAA Tournaments (2015, 2016, and 2019). Since taking over the Iowa program in 2010, Iowa has earned seven post-season tournament berths (4 NCAA, 3 NIT). McCaffery coached Iowa to 25 victories in 2013, equaling the second-most win total in program history. Mc-Caffery has guided five different first team honorees over the last seven years, including the 2020 National and Big Ten Player of the Year, Luka Garza. McCaffery has posted upper division finishes in seven of the last eight sea-sons at Iowa and 19 of 24 seasons as a head coach. He has posted 20 wins or more 10 of the last 14 seasons, including six of the last eight years at Iowa (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019, and 2020). Iowa’s 163 victories between 2013-19 are the most over an eight-year span at Iowa since 1987-94. McCaffery and the Hawkeyes boast a 110-29 (.791) home record the last eight seasons, which includes a school-record 18 wins in 2014 and 13 consecu-tive victories in 2019-20. McCaffery’s five years at Siena were the best in its 70-year history. He led the Saints on an incredible run that ended with three straight Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championships and NCAA Tournament appearances. McCaffery’s Saints owned a 112-51 (.687) record in his five years with the program. He guided the Saints to four consecutive 20-win seasons. McCaffery’s achievements earned the head coach Siena Hall of Fame recognition in 2017. The 2009 MAAC Coach of the Year and 2010 District I Coach of the Year is the third winningest coach, by percentage, in league history (68-22, .756). He is the only coach to guide a MAAC program to two NCAA Tournament wins. McCaffery led his 2008 and 2009 teams to first round NCAA Tournament victo-ries over Vanderbilt and Ohio State, respectively. In his final two seasons at Siena, he coached the Saints to back-to-back 27-win campaigns and boasted a combined 39-3 (.929) record against MAAC op-ponents, which included MAAC Tournament contests. McCaffery began his coaching career as an assistant at Penn (1982-83) and Lehigh (1983-85). After three seasons as head coach at Lehigh, he spent 11 seasons as an assistant at Notre Dame (1988-99). McCaffery played basketball at Wake Forest his freshman year (1977-78) and then concluded his collegiate playing career at Penn his final three seasons (1979-82). He earned his B.S. degree in Economics from The Wharton School (Penn) in 1982. McCaffery also earned a Master of Education from Lehigh in 1985.

LUKA GARZA CONTINUES WHERE HE LEFT OFF• Became Iowa’s all-time scoring leader in Big Ten games after Sunday’s 33-point effort

versus Minnesota. Garza now has 1,116 points in regular season Big Ten games, surpass-ing Roy Marble (1,113). Garza has tallied 154 points in six Big Ten games this season; 496 in 20 games in 2019-20; 243 in 19 contests in 2018-19; and 223 in 18 games in 2017-18.

• Luka Garza has passed ten former players (Dean Oliver, Adam Haluska, Jess Settles, Matt Gatens, Ronnie Lester, Devyn Marble, B.J. Armstrong, Greg Stokes, Acie Earl, and Aaron White) on Iowa’s all-time scoring list this season. Only one player in program history has scored more points than Garza (Roy Marble).

• One of only two players in the country (Notre Dame’s Nate Laszewski) to shoot at least 60 percent on FGAs and 48 percent on 3FGAs, with at least 20 made 3-pointers; Garza has more than double the field goals made and attempted as Laszewski.

• Luka Garza tallied 18 points against Northwestern (Dec. 29), halting his streak of scoring 20+ points at 18 straight Big Ten games, dating back to last season. His 18-game streak is the longest by any player against a Big Ten team in over three decades.

• Reached the 30-point plateau six times this season. No other player in Division I has more than three such games this season. Garza has topped 30 points 11 career times, second most in program history trailing only John Johnson (13). Garza has topped 20 points 11 times this season and 48 times in his career.

• Shot 70 percent or better from the field in six games in 2020-21, including 80 percent or better in four games (93% vs. Southern; 93% vs. Iowa State; 80% vs. Northern Illinois; 80% at Rutgers).

• Twice has been named Big Ten Player of the Week this season (Nov. 30 and Dec. 14). Garza was named Co-Big Ten Player of the Week after averaging 24.3 points, 8.3 re-bounds, and 1.7 blocks in wins over No. 16 North Carolina, Iowa State, and Northern Illinois. Garza was named Big Ten Player of the Week after averaging 33.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks in victories over N.C. Central and Southern.

• Garza scored 44 points at Michigan (Dec. 7, 2019) and 41 points versus Southern Uni-versity (Nov. 27, 2020). He is one of two players in program history to score 40 points or more in two games in a career (John Johnson, 49 and 46).

• Tallied 102 points in three games; that is the most points by any Division I player over his first 3 games of a season since Davidson’s Stephen Curry had 106 in 2008-09.

• Garza is the only Division I player in the last 25 years to score 100+ points on 75.0 percent shooting over any 3-game span. The last NBA player to accomplish that over a 3-game span was Shaquille O’Neal in January, 1996.

• Torched Southern University for 41 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks. Garza net-ted 36 first-half points, which is believed to be the most points scored by a Hawkeye in a half in program history. In the first half, Garza made all 12 field-goal attempts and was 10-of-12 from the free throw line.

• His 41 points are the most points scored by a Hawkeye in a single-game in Carver-Hawkeye Arena history (1983), besting 36 scored by Adam Haluska (2006) and Rob Griffin (2000). The arena record is 45 points by Brian Quinnett of Washington State in a neutral site contest contested against Loyola Marymount (1986).

• Finished the Southern University contest with a .933 field goal percentage (14-of-15), including a perfect 1.000 (3-of-3) from 3-point range, which is the best single-game mark by a Big Ten player since 1984 (Minnesota’s Tommy Davis, 15-of-16, at Indiana).

• Recorded his fifth double-double of the season and 25th of his career at Minnesota (Dec. 25). Garza scored a game-high 32 points and snagged a season-best 17 rebounds.

• Posted a double-double (16 points and 14 rebounds) to go along with a season-high four blocks against No. 16 North Carolina.

LAST MEETING VERSUS NORTHWESTERNNo. 10 Iowa handed 19th-ranked Northwestern its first conference defeat of the season, 87-72, on Dec. 29, in Iowa City.• This season’s first meeting marked the first time in the 180-game

series history that Iowa and Northwestern played with both teams ranked in the AP Top 25.

• Jordan Bohannon equaled a season high with 24 points (North Carolina), bolstered by 6-of-9 shooting from 3-point territory. His six triples were one shy of a season best.

FAMILY AFFAIRRedshirt junior Connor McCaffery and redshirt freshman Patrick McCaffery are one of 16 father/coach and son/player duos in Division I in 2020-21 (Boise State, Connecticut, De-troit Mercy, Illinois, Liberty, Memphis, Michigan State, USC Upstate, Southern, Syracuse, Texas Southern, Utah, Western Illinois, Western Kentucky, and Wright State). Of the 16 schools, the McCaffery’s are the only program with a father/coach and two sons on the roster.

3 HAWKEYES GRANTED MEDICAL HARDSHIP WAIVERSForwards Jack Nunge and Patrick McCaffery, and guard Jordan Bohannon were each granted medical hardship waivers in 2019-20. Nunge suffered a season-ending torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of his right knee in November. Bohannon had season-ending hip surgery in December, while McCaffery was dealing with residual health and wellness issues related to his thyroid.

GARZA RETURNS FOR SENIOR SEASONAll-American Luka Garza has been named to every major preseason All-America list, in-cluding headlining the AP Preseason All-America Team. Garza, who is the first Iowa men’s basketball player named to a preseason AP All-American, was the lone unanimous selec-tion, receiving all 64 votes. Below is a sampling of Garza’s preseason recognition:

• Associated Press Unanimous Preseason All-American• Blue Ribbon First Team Preseason All-American• CBS Sports First Team Preseason All-American• USA Today First Team Preseason All-American• Dick Vitale Preseason Player of the Year• Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year• NABC Player of the Year Watch List• Wooden Award Top 50 Watch List• Naismith Trophy Player of the Year Watch List• Unanimous All-Big Ten Preseason Team• Kareem Abdul Jabbar Center of the Year Watch List

HEALTHY CJ FREDRICK PAYING DIVIDENDSLast season, CJ Fredrick missed six full games and two second halves due to different injuries (quad, ankle, stress reaction in foot). After undergoing foot surgery this past July, Fredrick entered the 2020-21 season fully healthy. Fredrick ranks first on the team in 3-point accuracy (.511, 23-of-45), second in 3-pointers made (23) and leads the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio (8.0). He ranks fourth on the squad in scoring (9.5). Fredrick had a fantastic stretch a couple weeks ago, scoring 23 points at Minnesota (Dec. 25), netting 19 versus Northwestern (Dec. 29), and contributing seven points and two assists at Rutgers (Jan. 2). The Cincinnati native sank a combined 9-of-15 (.600) from long distance in those three contests. In his redshirt freshman season in 2019-20, Fredrick was one of only three players nationally -- and only player from a major conference dating back to 1993 -- with 65+ assists, 32 or fewer turnovers, and shoot 46%+ from 3-point range. Fredrick was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team, Big Ten Freshman of the Week (Jan. 20, 2020), and earned all-tournament honors at the Las Vegas Invitational.

WISE BEYOND HIS YEARSSmall forward Keegan Murray is playing with a quiet confidence when his name is called coming off the bench. All-American center Luka Garza has tabbed him “Nicholas Baer 2.0.” Murray is one of 10 players nationally, and the only bench player, to record at least 80 points, 55 rebounds, 15 blocks, and 15 steals this season. One of the other nine players is Michigan State’s Aaron Henry. He ranks fourth on the team in rebounding (4.3), second in blocked shots per game (1.1), and fifth in 3-pointers made (8). Murray was one of the team’s key contributors in Iowa’s road wins at No. 14 Rutgers and Maryland. The native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, scored a personal-best 14 points and led the team in rebounding (9), steals (3), and blocked shots (3) against the Scarlet Knights. Murray was a staggering +30, totaling 12 points, five rebounds, and a game-best two blocks at Maryland. Murray’s plus-minus is the third highest of any Hawkeye this season (Patrick McCaffery +39 and Fredrick +33 vs. Northern Illinois).

LUKA GARZA HAD HISTORIC SEASONLuka Garza had a historic season in 2019-20, earning National Player of the Year honors by six major news outlets, recognized as the Big Ten and USBWA District VI Player of the Year, Pete Newell Big Man of the Year and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year, as well as being honored as a unanimous consensus first-team All-American. The six news outlets to name Garza National Player of the Year include: Sporting News, Basketball Times, Stadium, Bleacher Report, FOX, and ESPN. He is the first Iowa men’s basketball player to earn national player of the year distinction. Garza was also a unanimous consensus first-team All-America selection. He joins former Hawkeyes Murray Wier (1948) and Charles Darling (1952) as the program’s only consensus first team All-Americans. Garza is also the first Hawkeye to win the Abdul-Jabbar and Newell national awards. Garza (740 points and 305 rebounds) is one of three Big Ten play-ers to ever total 740+ points and 300+ rebounds in a single-season (Purdue’s Glenn Robinson in 1994 and Purdue’s Joe Barry Carroll in 1979). He ranked second nationally with 12 20-point/10-rebound performances, 20-point games (25); third in total field goals made (287) and points per 40 minutes played (29.8), fifth in scoring (23.9), 10th in 30-point games (5), 19th in double-doubles (15), and 34th in rebounding (9.8). Garza averaged 26.7 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 12 games against AP ranked opponents in 2019-20, including recording 11 straight 20-point performances. Iowa’s Male Athlete of the Year, Garza finished the 20-game league schedule averaging 26.2 points per game, becoming the first player to average at least 26 points in Big Ten play since Purdue’s Glenn Robinson in 1994 (31.1 ppg). Garza scored a school-record 740 points, breaking the program’s 50-year old record. Garza is the only Big Ten player to register seven 25-point/10-rebound performances in the same season in more than 17 years.

EMOTIONAL YEAR FOR NUNGEIt has been a difficult 12 months for forward Jack Nunge. On Nov. 24, 2019, Nunge tore his ACL (right knee) in the fifth game of the 2019-20 season after sitting out the previous season (redshirt). Nearly 12 months to the day later, Nunge’s father (Dr. Mark Nunge) passed away unexpectedly at the age of 53 on Nov. 28, 2020. Nunge did not play in Iowa’s first two games against N.C. Central and Southern University as the redshirt sophomore was with family back home in Indiana. Nunge returned to Iowa City on Dec. 1, and played in his first game in over a year, tying a career high with 18 points and snagging five rebounds versus Western Illinois (Dec. 3). Nunge is Iowa’s leading scorer (6.7) and rebounder (6.0) off the bench.

IOWA HISTORYIowa has played 2,849 games since beginning basketball in 1902. Iowa’s overall record is 1,679-1,170 (.589). Iowa’s 1,679 wins are 38th most among Division I programs.

IOWA IN BIG TEN STATISTICS


JORDAN BOHANNON RETURNS FOR REDSHIRT SENIOR SEASONJordan Bohannon had surgery on his left hip last December after playing in 10 games in 2019-20. The native of Marion, Iowa, had the same procedure done on his right hip in May, 2019. He played in 10 games prior to his latest procedure, averaging 8.8 points and 3.3 assists per game. Bohannon, who was named Big Ten Co-Player of the Week, had a ridiculous stat line on Sunday against the Gophers: 19 points, 14 assists, 7 rebounds, 0 turnovers. Bohannon is the first Big Ten player to post those numbers in a game since the 2002-03 season. He has recorded a program-best seven career double-doubles in points and assists. Bohannon has played the most games among active Division I players with 125. He is the only player other than Luka Garza to lead the Hawkeyes in game scoring this season, scoring a team-best 24 points in wins over No. 16 North Carolina and No. 19 Northwestern. Thirty-six of Bohannon’s 45 made field goals have been 3-point-ers. He is shooting a blistering 63 percent (19-of-30) from behind the arc over the last four contests. Bohannon has made a school-record 320 3-pointers and is 54 triples from tying the all-time Big Ten record (374, Jon Diebler). His 320 triples are the most of any active player from a Power 5 confer-ence and tie for sixth best in Big Ten history. Bohannon has made three or more 3-pointers in five of Iowa’s last six games, including making a combined ten in Iowa’s last two outings. Iowa is 8-0 this season when Bohannon makes multiple 3-pointers. A third-team All-Big Ten performer in 2019, Bohannon was credited with a team-best 118 assists, becoming just the seventh Hawkeye to register three 100-assist seasons. This past Sunday, Bohannon’s 14 assists helped him move past Mike Gesell and Dean Oliver for third on Iowa career assists list. He is one of seven Hawkeyes to post three 100-assist seasons (Dean Oliver, Jeff Horner, B.J. Armstrong, Andre Woolridge, Mike Gesell, Devyn Marble).

HAWKEYE FASTBREAKS• Iowa is 104-24 when scoring 80 points or more, the last 11

seasons. The Hawkeyes are 81-2 when holding opponents to fewer than 61 points, the last 10 years.

• Iowa has made 10+ 3-pointers in nine of 13 games. The Hawkeyes have four players who have made 22+ triples: Luka Garza, CJ Fredrick, Jordan Bohannon, and Joe Wieskamp.

• Iowa has two of the top four active scorers in the Big Ten: Luka Garza is first with 1,918 points, while Jordan Bohannon is fourth with 1,446 points.

• Iowa has won nine straight games over ranked opponents at home, dating back to last season. That is the longest such streak in program history during the AP Poll Era (since 1948-49).

• Iowa has won 22 of its last 23 games inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena, dating back to last season.

• The Hawkeyes opened their season with 93+ points in each of their first six games for the first time in program history.

• Iowa is 2-0 in one-plays so far this season. The Hawkeyes beat Purdue and Maryland. The Hawkeyes’ other one-plays this season include Nebraska and Penn State at home, and Michigan and Illinois on the road.

• Iowa’s 22-point win (89-67) at Maryland on Jan. 7, is the largest margin of victory for either team in the series. The 89 points are the most points Iowa has scored in the 12-game series.

• Iowa’s 53-point win over Northern Illinois (106-53) tied the 18th largest margin of victory in program history.

• Iowa returns a large percentage of its production: scoring (81%), rebounding (76%), assists (77%), steals (83%), and blocks (67%). Iowa is one of eight schools from Power 5 conferences to have at least 65 percent of its production return from the previous season.

• The Hawkeyes sank 17 3-pointers against the Tar Heels. The 17 triples were two shy of a school record (19 against Savannah State on Dec. 22, 2018). Additionally, the 17 3-pointers tie for the third most ever against North Carolina.

FRANMcCAFFERYONPAYTONSANDFORT“We’re thrilled to have Payton join our program. I offered a scholarship the very first time I saw him play. He is perfectly suited for our style of play with his size, versatility, competitiveness, 3-point accuracy, ball handling and post-up skill. I believe he is going to have a tremendous career here at the University of Iowa.”


• Fran McCaffery has guided Iowa to 20 wins or more in six of the last eight seasons. He has led Iowa to Big Ten upper division finishes seven of the last eight years. Only Michigan State (8) has more first division finishes than Iowa (7) and Wisconsin (7) since the 2013 season.

• Iowa has qualified for four NCAA tournaments over the last six completed seasons (2014, 2015, 2016, 2019) and seven postseason tournaments over the last eight completed seasons (4 NCAA; 3 NIT).

RAINING THREESThree Hawkeyes sank five or more 3-pointers in Iowa’s victory over No. 16 North Carolina: Jordan Bohannon (7), CJ Fredrick (5), and Joe Wieskamp (5). It was the first time in UNC history that three opponent players made five or more triples in a game. It is also the only time in the last 25 years that three teammates (on any team) have made 5+ threes apiece in regulation against an AP Top 25 opponent.

5 NEWCOMERS TO JOIN ROSTER IN 2020-21The Iowa basketball program welcome five freshmen to the 2020-21 roster: Keegan Murray, Kris Murray, Josh Ogundele, Tony Perkins, and Ahron Ulis. Perkins was one of 13 seniors named to the 2020 Indiana All-Star Team. As a senior, Perkins averaged 18.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 steals leading Lawrence North to a 25-2 record. He shot 58 percent from the field and 35 percent from 3-point range. Ulis was the ESCC Player of the Year and named to the AP All-State Class 4A First Team. The three-year starter finished with over 1,500 points, trailing only his brother, Tyler, in the school’s record book.

IOWA VS. RANKED TEAMSIowa is 4-1 versus ranked teams. The Hawkeyes beat No. 16 North Carolina (93-80) and No. 16 Minnesota (86-71), and No. 19 North-western (87-72) in Iowa City. Iowa fell at No. 1 Gonzaga (99-88) in South Dakota, and beat No. 14 Rutgers (77-75) in New Jersey. The road victory over Rutgers was Iowa’s first road win over a ranked opponent since March, 2017. The Hawkeyes have won nine straight home games against AP ranked opponents. That’s the longest such streak in program his-tory during the AP Poll era (since 1948-49). Iowa won seven contests against ranked opponents last season, the most by any team nationally and the most by a Hawkeye team in a single-season since 2006 (8). Below are Iowa’s most recent victories over nationally-ranked opponents:

At Home: 86-71 over 16th-ranked Minnesota, 1/10/21 87-72 over 19th-ranked Northwestern, 12/29/20 93-80 over 16th-ranked North Carolina, 12/8/20 77-68 over 16th-ranked Penn State, 2/29/20On the Road: 77-75 over 14th-ranked Rutgers, 1/2/21 59-57 over 21st-ranked Wisconsin, 3/2/17 83-69 over 24th-ranked Maryland, 2/25/17 76-59 over 4th-ranked Michigan State, 1/14/16NeutralCourt: 72-61 over 12th-ranked Texas Tech, 11/28/19 79-72 over 22nd-ranked Cincinnati, 3/22/19 77-69 over 13th-ranked Oregon, 11/15/18

RECENT GRADUATES PLAYING PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALLA number of recent Iowa basketball graduates are playing profes-sionally: Jarrod Uthoff (NBA Washington Wizards), Devyn Marble (Kazakhstan), Tyler Cook (NBA Denver Nuggets), Adam Woodbury (NBA G League: Grand Rapids Drive), Anthony Clemmons (Bosnia), Gabriel Olaseni (Turkey), Peter Jok (Spain), and Aaron White (Greece).

COOL HAND LUKALast season, Luka Garza became the sixth Hawkeye to average 22+ points per game and first in 49 years since Fred Brown aver-aged 27.6 points per game in 1971. He became the fourth Big Ten player since 1993 to average at least 23 points per game (Glenn Robinson, Shawn Respert, and Carsen Edwards). Garza finished the 20-game conference schedule averaging 26.2 points per game to become Iowa’s first scoring leader in Big Ten games only since Adam Haluska (21.3 ppg) in 2007. Garza’s 26.2 Big Ten scoring average is the highest by a true center since Minnesota’s Tom Kondla (28.3 ppg) in 1967. Garza tallied 38 points at Indiana (Feb. 13, 2020). The 38 points were two points shy of matching the Assembly Hall single-game record by an opponent. Garza had the two highest single-game point totals in the Big Ten in 2019-20: 44 at Michigan & 38 at Indiana. He amassed 77 points in two games against Michigan, the most points by any Big Ten player versus a single opponent in regular season conference play over the last 20 seasons. Garza became the fourth Hawkeye over the last four decades to average better than 20 points per game. He totaled 287 field goals and 530 field goal attempts; two field goals from John Johnson’s record of 289 in 1970 and five attempts from tying Fred Brown’s record of 535 in 1971. Garza joined Jarrod Uthoff (2015 & 2016) as the only players in pro-gram history to total 50+ blocks and 35+ 3-pointers in a season in 2019-20. Garza is also one of only five Big Ten players since the 2011 season to post multiple 30-point/10-rebounds games in the same season. Garza scored 25 points or more 13 times in 2019-20 (fifth na-tionally). He controlled 10 rebounds or more in 14 games. He snagged a career-best 18 boards twice in 2019-20.

McCAFFERY CLIMBING WINS CHARTFran McCaffery and the Iowa Hawkeyes have reached the 20-win plateau six of the last eight seasons. McCaffery joins Lute Olson (6) and Tom Davis (10) as the only Iowa head coaches to win 20 or more games in at least five seasons. McCaffery has taken Iowa to the NCAA Tournament four times, and likely a fifth time last March if not for the postseason cancel-lation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among Iowa’s head basket-ball coaches, McCaffery ranks third in tournament appearances behind Davis (9) and Olson (5). Davis is Iowa’s all-time winningest coach, while McCaffery is second.

COACHING EXPERIENCEFran McCaffery has the most experienced coaching staffs in the country. The Iowa men’s basketball staff has 73 years of combined collegiate head coaching experience and more than 125 years of collegiate coaching under their belts. Iowa is one of two programs nationwide who have four current/former Division I head coaches on their active coaching staffs (Pitt).

HEAR FROM THE EXPERTSWHAT THEY’RE SAYiNG ABOuT LukA GARZA

Jay Bilas (1/7/20)“I don’t know who can take National Player of the Year away from (Luka Garza). I don’t think anybody can. It’s going to be Garza and everybody else for that award.

Dan Dakich (1/7/20)“What he’s done off the court to get ready to have those numbers is other-worldly. A lot of kids want to be great, but very kids pre-pare to be great. NobodyworksharderthanLukaGarzaforcryingoutloud.Imeannobody.”

Gonzaga Head Coach Mark Few (12/19/20)“He’s a handful. He’s a wonderful player. He about fouled our whole team out.”

Jim Jackson (12/13/20)“The National Player of the Year conversation startswithLukaGarza. His game is so dynamic. He can beat you inside, outside can get to the free throw line, and he can finish.”

Jess Settles (12/13/20)“It’s almost an impossible task trying to guard Luka Garza. It doesn’t matter if there are three defenders trying to put a body on him. Heisstrongerthaneverybodyelse.Heworksharderthaneverybodyelse. Heismoreskilledthananyoneelseinthegameandthatisraretostayaboutacenter.”
