Uthoff to play in Estonia

Iowa men’s basketball player Jarrod Uthoff will represent the Hawkeyes on the East Coast All-Stars later this month at the Four Nations Cup in Tallinn, Estonia. The event will take place July 25-27.

The 6-8 forward will depart for a two-day training camp at Fordham University on Saturday and July 21. After the camp, Uthoff and the team will leave the states and land in Estonia on the evening of July 22.

The All Stars will play an exhibition contest against an Estonian Club team on July 23, then have a practice the day before competition begins on July 25. The All-Stars will play three games against the top FIBA National Teams in Belarus, Estonia, and the Slovak Republic.

The 12-man roster includes two players each from Syracuse and Lycoming, and one each from Iowa, Louisville, North Colorado, Notre Dame, UConn, Providence, West Virginia, and Binghamton. The team comprises six seniors, five sophomores, and one lone junior.

This year marks the third-straight season that a Hawkeye has traveled to Estonia with the East Coast All-Stars. In 2011, Matt Gatens and Bryce Cartwright traveled overseas, and Zach McCabe went last year.
