In addition to Murray, the Hawkeyes also return Kris Murray, Filip Rebraca, and Patrick McCaffery. All three players averaged at least 10 points per game last season.

Game Will Be Good Test for Hawkeyes

The game will also be a good opportunity for the Hawkeyes to get some game experience before the regular season begins. The Hawkeyes have a tough schedule this season, so they will need to be ready to play from the start.
