Keegan Murray - Overcomes ankle injury, scores 18Murray 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.ImpactMurray 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.
