Filip Rebraca - Records double-double in loss Rebraca closed with 16 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 66-50 loss to Nebraska.
Impact Rebraca didn't get enough offensive help on the road but still secured his fifth double-double of the season. As he's scored over 20 points in three of his last five games and hasn't dipped below double figures in his last seven, Rebraca takes good momentum into conference play.

Kris Murray - Team-high 17 in return Murray closed Thursday's 66-50 loss to Nebraska with 17 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 36 minutes.
Impact Murray jumped right back into his high-volume shooting ways in his return from a four-game absence due to a foot injury, but it wasn't enough for the Hawkeyes to stave off an embarrassing defeat to a Nebraska team likely to be bottom dwellers in the conference. Murray simply didn't get much help here, as Felip Rebraca was the only other Iowa player in double figures, while the remaining three starters went 2-for-19 from the field. The Hawkeyes will next head to Penn State on New Year's Day in hopes of snapping a two-game losing streak.

Impact McCaffery worked hard to keep his team in contention despite falling behind late in the game. With no more than 13 points scored over the previous four games before Sunday, McCaffery will look to up his game on a more regular basis before conference play begins in January.

Ahron Ulis - Doesn't appear in OT loss Ulis (hip) didn't appear in Sunday's overtime loss to Wisconsin.

Ahron Ulis - Questionable against Badgers Ulis is questionable for Sunday's game against Wisconsin due to a hip contusion.
Impact Ulis was excluded from Sunday's starting lineup and is apparently dealing with a hip issue. Dasonte Bowen is starting and should see increased work if Ulis is unable to suit up.

Kris Murray - Officially ruled out Murray (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's showdown with Wisconsin, Kennington Lloyd Smith III of the Des Moines Register reports.
Impact Murray will miss his second-consecutive game with a foot injury. The 6-foot-8 junior has been a scoring machine for the Hawkeyes this season, averaging 19.4 points and 10.1 rebounds on 50/37.8/80 shooting splits. In Murray's absence, the Hawkeyes will have to rely on multiple players to step up and contribute without Murray's consistent scoring production.

Filip Rebraca - Season-best in win Rebraca provided 22 points (9-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 37 minutes during Thursday's 75-56 win over Iowa State.
Impact Rebraca led the way following a loss to Duke in which everyone struggled. Though one could expect Rebraca to be a double-double threat on most nights, Thursday represented his first since the third game of the season. Should Rebraca make a habit of scoring at a high rate, his value can certainly improve.
