Iowa's Claim of First Intercollegiate Five Player Game
Cedar Rapids journalist Tom Riley argues Iowa hosted Chicago on January 18 1896 for a five member basketball test game that Chicago won 15 to 12. The NCAA cites Yale vs Pennsylvania in 1897 as earliest five on five, while Riley cites local Iowa City papers and friends of Amos Alonzo Stagg. The NCAA remains skeptical noting Iowa used a YMCA team.
