FEBRUARY 16 • Associated Press

Struggles in rough loss Koch contributed three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one assist and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 77-70 loss to Maryland.

Impact Koch's three points on 1-of-6 shooting from the field was one of his worst offensive performances yet this season. In a game where Iowa desperately needed someone else besides Bennett Srirtz to step up as a scoring threat, Koch wasn't that player as the Hawkeyes suffered a serious setback, losing to the hapless Terps. Koch has made strides in his second year of college hoops, but remains too inconsistent to trust, both for Iowa and from a fantasy standpoint.

Stirtz scores 22 as Iowa beats Washington 84-74, extends win streak to 5 games

Bennett Stirtz hit four 3-pointers and finished with 22 points, Alvaro Folgueiras scored 16 points, and Iowa beat Washington 84-74 for its fifth consecutive win

FEBRUARY 5 • Associated Press

Held in check by Trojans Koch chipped in three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 73-72 victory over USC.

Impact Koch was held to three points for the second straight game. It's been a quiet scoring stretch for the freshman, who's started every game for the Hawkeyes this season but only averages 6.7 points. Given that the forward isn't contributing consistently on the glass either, to the tune of 3.3 rebounds per game, he's best avoided for fantasy purposes at the moment.
