IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Senior forward Aaron White arrived in Iowa City as a scrawny kid that few outside of suburban Cleveland had ever heard of. He’ll leave as one of the greatest players the Hawkeyes have ever had. White’s career with Iowa has far exceeded even his own modest expectations. From posting a double-double in his freshman debut to averaging 23.7 points and 9.3 rebounds in his last three games, White has been a key cornerstone for coach Fran McCaffery during his five-year tenure.

White and the Hawkeyes (20-10, 11-6 Big Ten) host Northwestern Saturday in search of their first six-game Big Ten winning streak in 28 years.
