Iowa coach Todd Lickliter loves the way Tony Freeman shoots.
Loves it.
"Oh my goodness," Lickliter said. "He just makes them. I love shots that go in, and he can really make them."
The 6-foot-1 junior guard got a late start to the season, missing 10 of the first 11 games because of a fracture in his left foot he incurred during an exhibition game.
But since Big Ten play began, Freeman has been the Hawkeyes' go-to player and leads the team with 15.8 points and 4.5 assists per game in league play.
"Tony is becoming comfortable with being a part of this team," Lickliter said.
It was Freeman who scored 22 points in the 43-36 upset win over then-No. 6 Michigan State on Saturday. The Hawkeyes (8-9, 1-3 Big Ten) return to the parquet floor at Carver-Hawkeye Arena at 6:05 p.m. tonight against Purdue (11-5, 2-1).
