Can Transfers Turn Around Iowa State Basketball

Posted: 10.24.2011 at 11:51 PM

(AP) -- Iowa State is set to pose a fascinating question to the rest of college basketball this season.

Can a team made up almost entirely of transfers win anything?

Iowa State will start transfers Royce White, Chris Allen and Chris Babb this season as part of a grand experiment by second-year coach Fred Hoiberg.

He has adopted an unorthodox rebuilding strategy the rest of the Big 12 will be keeping a close eye on.

Iowa State, which finished 16-16 last season, opens against Lehigh on Nov. 12.
