Ted Friedman is UNI’s steady, high-IQ defensive-minded center
Friedman’s calling card is reliability: he’s a veteran UNI center with 106 career games, strong academic discipline, and a reputation as a smart, physical frontcourt piece rather than a high-usage scorer. In the 2016-17 season, he appeared in 29 games with four starts and was a second-team MVC Scholar-Athlete, reflecting both consistency and coach trust. He fits best as a glue guy who protects the paint, rebounds, and brings toughness, making him a good match for teams that value efficiency, maturity, and role acceptance over raw offensive volume.
