A pair of transfers off the bench are making an impact for the Iowa men’s basketball team. Point guard Drew Thelwell is averaging 10 points per game and is tied for the team lead in steals after transferring from Morehead State.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who says it took a while for Thelwell to adjust to Iowa’s style of play.

Sydou (say-do) Traore (try-or) is a 6-7 sophomore who began his career at Manhattan College and is averaging eight and a half points while batting injury early in the season.

The Hawkeyes 4-0 and host Rider Tuesday night.
