Iowa finalizes European basketball trip
Jul. 8, 2013 4:09 pm
The Iowa men's basketball team has finalized details for its summer trip to England and France.
The Hawkeyes will play six games, including its first two at London's Copper Box Arena, which was used for last year's Olympic Games. The middle two games are held in Paris, and the final two are played at other French locations.
Iowa will be able to take incoming players Jarrod Uthoff and Peter Jok on its trip this year. The NCAA previously denied newcomers taking foreign trips. The Hawkeyes took only seven players on its last foreign trip in 2009.
Here's the schedule:
