Ultimately, Iowa missed the NCAA Tournament in consecutive seasons as attendance at Carver-Hawkeye Arena continued to decline. That was enough for Iowa athletics director Beth Goetz to pull the trigger on terminating McCaffery's contract.

As Iowa basketball continues to deal with the fallout from the dismissal of head coach Fran McCaffery, the program received news Monday that a second starter from last year's team has entered the transfer portal.
