Iowa coach Fran McCaffery is not concerned about his team’s ability to bounce back this weekend in the Big Four Classic. The Hawkeyes are 7-3 and have been off since blowing a 20 point lead in an 83-82 loss at Iowa State. Iowa will play Drake in Wells Fargo Arena.

McCaffery says Iowa State’s rally had nothing to do with magic and everything to do with the Cyclones.

“Everyone wants to attribute magic to a building”, said McCaffery. “That’s a good team and they have good players. If they did not have good players you can scream and yell all you want and they would not win.”

Iowa State will play Northern Iowa in the second game of the doubleheader.
