Iowa guard Brendan Hausen has bought in to the challenge of getting the Hawkeye program back to the NCAA Tournament. Hausen transferred to Iowa after spending last season at Kansas State, where he averaged just under 11 points per game and shot nearly 39 percent from three point range.

Hausen says Hawkeye coach Ben McCollum told him the truth while making his pitch.

Iowa is Hausen’s third stop. He spent his first two years playing at Villanova.
