Iowa will be shorthanded on Thursday night when hosting 15th ranked Indiana.
Junior forward Patrick McCaffery has stepped away from the team to deal with anxiety. He was averaging nearly 13 points per game.
That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery who says Patrick is still with the team.
McCaffery says there is no timetable for Patrick’s return.
Iowa is 0-3 in the Big Ten and will host a Hoosier team that is expected to contend for the league crown.
With Patrick out sophomore Payton Sandfort will get more playing time. The Waukee native is shooting only 21 percent from three point range.
