DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa senior Aaron White still can’t quite put his finger on why the Hawkeyes collapsed last season. What White has learned is that the Hawks will need to worry more about their intensity than their expectations in 2014-15.

White will enter next season as the face of the program with Devyn Marble’s departure to the NBA. It’ll be a major challenge for White, the leading returning scorer from a team that reached as high as No. 10 in the country before losing seven of their last eight games and falling to Tennessee in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.

White says last season taught him and the Hawkeyes not to worry about the high expectations others might have for the team.

AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg says surgery to replace his pacemaker was a success. Hoiberg underwent the procedure Tuesday at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.  Hoiberg says he’s been cleared to be discharged and to return to Ames later Tuesday.

Hoiberg was forced to retire from the NBA in 2005 following open heart surgery. He returned to his alma mater as coach in 2010 and has led the Cyclones to three straight NCAA tournament appearances. Hoiberg signed a revised contract in April that bumped his average annual salary to $2.6 million and runs until 2023.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa basketball player Peter Jok was arrested Monday night for driving his moped on a revoked license. It’s the second moped-related arrest in three months for Jok, who will be a sophomore for the Hawkeyes next fall. Jok was charged with drunk driving on his moped in late April and had his license revoked. He pleaded guilty on May 2 and completed a weekend drunk driving program, according to online court records.

Iowa City police arrested Jok again on Monday night after initially stopping him for improper rear lights and the lack of a safety flag. Jok, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard, averaged 4.4 points a game for the Hawkeyes last season.
