Son's Slump: Coach DeVries Faces Unique Challenge
17 Jan
Summary
- Tucker DeVries is in a shooting slump, scoring single digits recently.
- Indiana faces Iowa in a critical Big Ten Conference matchup.
- Iowa seeks to end a three-game losing streak against top teams.
Indiana coach Darian DeVries faces a rare coaching dilemma as his son, Tucker DeVries, works through a prolonged shooting slump. Tucker, a key player averaging 14.6 points, has been held to single digits in four of his last six contests, including a recent 3-of-10 performance.
His father acknowledges the unusual nature of the slump, stating Tucker "has got to find his way back out of it." This personal challenge coincides with a crucial Big Ten Conference game for the Hoosiers (12-5, 3-3) against Iowa (12-5, 2-4) on Saturday.
The Hawkeyes are also in desperate need of a win, having dropped their last three games. Despite leading in games against top-ranked opponents, Iowa has struggled to close out victories. Coach Ben McCollum emphasizes continued progress and focus on execution to snap their losing skid.
