IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — To his detractors, Iowa’s Adam Woodbury is often viewed as the blue-chip recruit who never lived up to expectations. Those who’ve watched Woodbury closely in 2015-16 would argue that he’s developed into one of the more underrated players in the Big Ten.

Woodbury, a 7-foot-1 senior, is among a handful of Hawkeyes whose career years have helped push the program into the top five in the rankings. Woodbury is averaging a career-high 8.5 points and a team-high 7.7 rebounds a game, with four double-doubles in his last seven outings while guiding a resurgent defense.
