Players To Watch
Takai Simpkins, a 6‑ft‑5 guard, began every one of his 31 games with Oregon last season, posting 12.5 points per game in 32.0 minutes of play. His full Big Ten season experience will be a key asset for Lipscomb.
Over the course of the season, Simpkins faced Big Ten defenses week in and week out, giving him a solid understanding of the conference’s style. He drilled 35.7% of his three‑point attempts and recorded a season‑high 22 points. Expect Lipscomb to lean on him frequently in late‑shot‑clock situations.
Simpkins averaged 7.0 assists per game last season, complemented by 9.9 points and 3.8 rebounds, and shot 46.4% from the field. He started all 32 games for the program.
Iowa coach Ben McCollum has listed Ty’Reek Coleman and Kael Combs as potential point‑guard options, giving the Hawkeyes depth at the position. As a result, Lipscomb’s point guard (Esmeraldo) brings a clear experience advantage. His playmaking frequently creates open looks for teammates such as Simpkins and Titas Sargiunas, and he connected on 36.8% of his own three‑point attempts. He posted a season‑high 24 points, and his assist‑to‑turnover ratio will be a key metric to watch.
Ty’Reek Coleman shot 41.3% from three‑point range at Illinois State last season, averaging 10.3 points in 23.0 minutes per game. Iowa coach Ben McCollum has indicated Coleman will be an option at point guard.
Coleman posted a 50.5% field‑goal percentage for the Redbirds and recorded a 24‑point game. Transitioning to a backcourt full of experienced players like Lipscomb’s will challenge his offensive role, making his ball‑handling against the Bisons a key matchup to monitor.
Standing 7‑ft‑3, Iowa’s new center averaged 9.2 rebounds per game at Saint Mary’s last season. Andrew McKeever also contributed 8.4 points and 1.7 assists in 22.9 minutes per contest, and he recorded a season‑high 16 points.
McKeever provides Iowa with a significant size advantage over a Lipscomb roster that leans heavily on guard play. He shot 50.7% from the field, started 10 of 32 games for the Gaels, and his post passing can create open looks for Iowa’s shooters. Expect the Hawkeyes to initiate many of their offensive sets through McKeever early in the contest.
