Iowa sophomore forward Patrick McCaffery may be back in the lineup Thursday night when the 24th ranked Hawkeyes visit Michigan.
McCaffery missed Monday’s victory over Northwestern after suffering a hip injury last week at Nebraska.
That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. A team that lost Luka Garza and Joe Wieskamp to the NBA has a shot at a top four finish in the Big Ten after Nebraska’s upset victory at Ohio State. The return of Jordan Bohannon and Connor McCaffery gave the Hawks a much needed veteran presence.
McCaffery believes depth has been a major factor in a late season run that has seen the Hawkeyes win seven or their last eight games.
McCaffery says depth has allowed the Hawkeyes to handle the adversity that occurs during a conference race.
Iowa is 11-7 in the Big Ten. The Wolverines are 10-8 in conference play after a Tuesday night victory over Michigan State.
