Iowa sophomore Cooper Koch (kawtch) is taking more of a leadership role as the Hawkeyes get ready for a new season. Koch is coming off a freshman season in which he averaged nearly eight points per game and is one of 10 players back from a team that made a run to the Elite Eight. Koch says he is trying to lead by example.
Koch says with a year under his belt in the system he will have a much larger role.
Koch says with All Big Ten guard Bennett Stirtz off to the NBA The Hawkeyes will have a different look.
Koch has been working to become more consistent from three point range. He shot just over 40 percent from behind the arc last season.
The Hawkeyes open the regular season at home on November third against Lipscomb.
