Productive in season debut McCaffery logged 16 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 21 minutes in Wednesday's 97-67 win over North Carolina Central.
Impact McCaffery came off the bench in Wednesday's season opener, but he saw significant playing time since the Hawkeyes maintained a comfortable lead throughout the contest. McCaffery missed most of his freshman season due to complications from his bout with thyroid cancer, but he was fully cleared heading into the 2020-21 campaign and should continue to define a role with the Hawkeyes.
