The Iowa women were not the only basketball team to travel to Europe this week. While Caitlin Clark and Co. were busy crushing it in Italy, the men started off their European tour in Paris, France. Iowa basketball opened up their foreign tour with a 123-77 victory over the Paris All-Stars.
All 11 Hawkeyes scored in the blowout win, with a few notable performers leading the way. The Hawkeyes worked through some issues early on, and head coach Fran McCaffery was able to get a good first impression of his young squad early in August.
