Playing Duke in Madison Square Garden is a big deal for any college basketball player. For Iowa's Patrick McCaffery, it's even more meaningful because the game Tuesday is part of the Jimmy V Classic, which raises funds and awareness for cancer research. McCaffery has come back from thyroid cancer as a teenager to be the Hawkeyes' second-leading scorer. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File)
