The Iowa Towers have arrived
Drue AmanSports Editor Maybe it’s not a bad thing to be tall and be able to dribble, shoot and rebound. That’s the perception of incoming freshmen Jordan Dykstra and Marcus Heemstra, who in reality, are both 6-8. Those perceptions and hype are something the two ignore, only emphasizing the traits of their game they need [...]
