Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffrey announced Monday that Missouri Valley Conference forward Ben Creek has transferred from Vanderbilt to Iowa State.
The 6-foot-9, 220-pound Krikke scored 1,596 points in four seasons with the Beacons and reached double figures in 82 of 122 games played. He led the Valley in scoring last season, averaging 19.4 points per game and 21 per game in conference games.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to become a Hawkeye,” said Krikke. “I am excited to go to campus. I can say that the school is rich in tradition and history and is serious about success both academically and athletically.
“I am excited to receive the support of such a vibrant fan base and to be part of such an amazing community. I want to do everything I can to help the team win games and contribute to the school’s legacy.”
Krikke, who started all 32 games, averaged 5.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest. Krikke shoots 55% from the field and 80% from the free throw line.
The Edmonton, Alberta, Canada native has played 26 games with at least 15 points. He will have one season of eligibility with the Hockey Family.
