ImpactMurray shot 80 percent from the floor in Tuesday's opener and led the Hawkeyes on the scoreboard despite playing just 17 minutes.

Connor McCaffery - Slowed by ankle injuryMcCaffery accumulated three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and seven rebounds in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 106-73 victory over Longwood.

ImpactAccording to JohnBohnenkamp of IowaCollegeHoops.com, McCaffery limped off the court at one point with what appeared to be a left ankle injury. He walked off to the locker room under his own power before later returning to the bench. Set to serve as a sixth-man in 2021-22, it's unclear how much McCaffery will be utilized in Friday's matchup against UMKC.
