Patrick McCaffery says Iowa's meeting with No. 15 Duke at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday is more than just another game to him. The game opens the Jimmy V Classic doubleheader. The event raises funds for cancer research through the V Foundation. McCaffery overcame thyroid cancer as a teenager to play college basketball at the highest level. He is Iowa's second-leading scorer and has started 38 of the last 39 games. The second game of the Jimmy V Classic pits No. 2 Texas against No. 17 Illinois.
