Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery is confident sophomore Payton Sandfort will rediscover his shooting touch. The Waukee native is only three of 29 from three point range in his last eight games and for the season is hitting only 20 percent. A year ago as a freshman he connected on 37 percent from behind the arc and was a key part of Iowa’s late season surge.

Iowa is 7-3 and resumes play on Saturday against Southeast Missouri. The Big Ten race resumes on the 29th at Nebraska.
