Owen Freeman discusses Iowa exit with former WQAD sports director Matt Randazzo

Former Iowa Hawkeyes center Owen Freeman, a 6-foot-10 sophomore and Moline alumnus, committed to Creighton to play basketball in the 2025-26 season, as reported by On3's Joe Tipton.
Freeman's decision to transfer came after the dismissal of head coach Fran McCaffery, which influenced his choice to seek new opportunities.
During his standout freshman year in 2023-24 and subsequent season, the 20-year-old Freeman averaged 16.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 19 games, also earning the title of Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
Freeman stated on March 15, 'With the recent coaching change, my family and I have decided it would be in my best interests to enter the transfer portal'.
Rated as a top center in the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining, Freeman is expected to potentially replace Ryan Kalkbrenner, joining a successful Creighton program coming off a 25-11 season and moving to the Big East.
