IOWA HAWKEYES NEWS

Filip Rebraca - Twenty-point double-double in win Rebraca accumulated 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 86-70 victory over Northwestern.

Impact Rebraca secured his second double-double in the last three games but it was also just his second in the last five games. He also scored less than 10 points twice in that stretch during an inconsistent finish to January. He will hope a good shooting performance can turn things around as teams start to focus on getting a good spot in the standings for March.

Payton Sandfort - Scores 20 off bench Sandfort recorded 20 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 86-70 win over Northwestern.

Impact Sandfort hadn't scored more than seven points in the last three games before making a big difference in Tuesday's victory. While he's a capable rebounder, Sandfort's ability to regularly score is limited by a lesser role in the rotation unless he gets hot.

Kris Murray - Logs 24 points in win Murray racked up 24 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 93-82 win over Rutgers.

Impact Murray helped topple one of the better teams in the conference with a third 20-point performance in his last five games. The full Big 10 season has been kind to Murray following a foot injury as he ranks among the best scorers in the league along with Zach Edey and Trayce Jackson-Davis. As Murray also averages 8.6 rebounds per game, he's able to compete with the regular double-doubles put up by those stars.

Tony Perkins - 11 points, seven boards in win Perkins had 11 points (2-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 93-82 victory over Rutgers.

Impact Perkins put together a nice performance though he hasn't made more than two shots in any of the last three games. He will need to improve his efficiency from the floor to be a reliable option, though it will take a few more performances like Sunday to finish the season averaging double-digit points per game.

Dasonte Bowen - DNP vs. Rutgers Bowen did not play during the Hawkeyes' 93-82 win Sunday versus Rutgers.

Impact An undisclosed problem prevented Bowen from participating in the Hawkeyes' latest game, their next being when they host Northwestern on Tuesday.

Patrick McCaffery - Scores nine across 13 minutes McCaffery registered nine points (3-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 13 minutes during Sunday's 93-82 win over Rutgers.

Impact McCaffery was limited during his first game since Jan. 1. Despite his two turnovers against Rutgers, he almost scored 10 points and had no problems outside of his scoring. Sooner than later, McCaffery is expected to be part of Iowa's rotation more, like he was during 2022.

Impact McCaffery is expected to return after sitting out all but one of Iowa's games played during January. Though he will not be part of the Hawkeyes' starting lineup Sunday, it is still better than not playing at all, and he should be eased into more action.

Patrick McCaffery "Game-Time Decision" at Michigan St. Iowa Junior Forward Practicing with Hawkeyes

JANUARY 25, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Patrick McCaffery - Game-time decision Thursday McCaffery (personal) is a game-time decision for Thursday's tilt with Michigan State, David Eickholt of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact McCaffery sat out each of Iowa's last five games after announcing earlier this month that he was taking an indefinite leave of absence to address anxiety, but he rejoined the team approximately two weeks later. Over the past week, McCaffery has been working to regain fitness following his time away from the team, with head coach Fran McCaffery noting that the junior forward is "doing better." Further clarity on whether McCaffery will be able to play Thursday may not be clear until the Hawkeyes begin warming up approximately 30 minutes before the 7 p.m ET tipoff.

Ahron Ulis - Scores 12 in loss Ulis ended Saturday's 93-77 loss to Ohio State with 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes.

Impact Ulis surpassed double-digits for just the second time all season. He also committed four turnovers for the second time in his last four games while racking up good minutes on both occasions. Consistency has not served the Hawkeyes well this season, but Ulis still hasn't shown the same scoring potential as some of his teammates.
