IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa's Owen Freeman will undergo season-ending surgery after injuring a finger on his right hand. That means the Hawkeyes must play the rest of the season without their top scorer, rebounder and shot blocker. Freeman is averaging 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 63.8% from the floor. The 6-foot-10 sophomore forward also has a team-high 35 blocks this season. He was the only Iowa player to score in double figures in every game this season. Iowa (13-8, 4-6 Big Ten) hosts No. 10 Purdue (17-5, 9-2) on Tuesday.
