IOWA CITY — Iowa’s Kris Murray is returning for his junior season after withdrawing from the NBA Draft.

Murray (6-foot-8, 211 pounds) posted single season bests in every statistical category last season. He improved his scoring average by +9.1 points per game and rebounding average by 3.7 per outing.

Murray was Iowa’s leading scorer (9.7 ppg) and rebounder (4.3 rpg) off the bench, which ranked fourth and third overall, respectively. His 31 blocks and 43 3-point field goals rank seventh and eighth most, respectively, by a Hawkeye sophomore.

He made at least one 3-pointer in a team-best 17 consecutive games (Jan. 22-March 13) and recorded multiple steals in 10 games and multiple blocks in nine contests.

IOWA CITY — The Board of Regents facilities committee has given approval for the work on the University of Iowa wrestling facility to move forward with a 19 percent increase in cost due to inflation. Iowa Athletic director Gary Barta talked to the committee Wednesday.

The revised budget is up around $5 million dollars to $31,550,000.

Barta says other donors are already helping with the increase.

Barta says they always expect some cost increases.

The final approval comes before the full board on Thursday. This project is a 38,500 square foot, two-level practice and operations facility for U-I Wrestling. It would be directly connected by an underground tunnel to Carver-Hawkeye Arena, where men’s and women’s wrestling matches would continue to take place.
