Keegan Murray - Overcomes ankle injury, scores 18 Murray notched 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 36 minutes during Monday's 75-74 win over Virginia.
Impact Murray did give Hawkeye fans a bit of a scare when he exited with an ankle injury in the second half, but he didn't miss much, still logging more minutes than any other Iowa player. According to Kennington Lloyd Smith III of the Des Moines Register, coach Fran McCaffery relayed after the game that while Murray's ankle is sore, it isn't something the team believes to be overly serious. The Hawkeyes get an early start to conference play with a matchup against Purdue on Friday, so Murray's presence will be vital given this game will seemingly have implications for deciding a conference champion in March. The second-year guard as been the leading scorer for the undefeated Hawkeyes, putting in 24.6 points per game.

Patrick McCaffery - Looks to be in form McCaffery finished with 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Friday's 85-51 victory over Portland State.
Impact McCaffery missed consecutive games with a lower-body injury, but didn't miss a beat here, reaching double figures for the fourth time in as many appearances this season. The Hawkeyes pulled away towards the end and ultimately emptied their bench, but McCaffery should see much higher minutes totals as the competition gets tougher. That's exactly what's about to happen, as Iowa has contests against Virginia (Nov. 29), Purdue (Dec. 3) and Illinois (Dec. 6) ahead on the schedule.

Josh Ogundele - Sees court Friday Ogundele (illness) closed Friday's 85-51 victory over Portland State with one point (0-1 FG, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and two steals in four minutes.
Impact Ogundele missed a Nov. 22 contest due to illness but was back in action Friday as one of the final frontcourt reserves. The 6-11 sophomore appears to be limited to a depth role for now and risks being phased out of the rotation entirely as the competition stiffens up.

Keegan Murray - Nears double-double in win Murray racked up 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 85-51 victory over Portland State.
Impact Murray was Iowa's top contributor in Friday's victory, as he led the team in the scoring column while tying for the team lead on the scoreboard. The sophomore has topped 20 points in each of his first six appearances of the season while shooting 62.2 percent from the floor.

Patrick McCaffery - In starting lineup McCaffery (lower body) is in the starting five for Friday's game against Portland State.
Impact McCaffery missed the previous two games with a lower body injury. He averaged 22.7 minutes across the three games prior to his injury and could be in line for a similar role Friday unless he's on a minutes restriction in his first game back.

Impact Murray didn't see much playing time in Monday's blowout victory, but he paced the Hawkeyes on the scoreboard while shooting 71.4 percent from the floor.

Josh Ogundele - Unavailable Monday Ogundele has been ruled out for Monday's game against Western Michigan due to a non-COVID-19 related illness.
Impact Ogundele hasn't played much of a role in Iowa's rotation so far this season, so his absence isn't a huge hit for the Hawkeyes. He's averaging less than a point (0.7) and 2.0 rebounds in three games.

Impact Sandfort saw an uptick in playing time during Thursday's blowout win, and he had plenty of shot volume en route to his first career 20-plus point performance. The freshman has been relatively inconsistent early in the year and has averaged 8.8 points in 14.8 minutes per game.
