Do you have some new info? I know TJD welcomes the rest period with his back issue, but hadn't heard anything about X coming back anytime soon. Nothing new but we are 1 week removed from surgery. Another week will go by before we start....just saying every week we can buy time without X the better we'll all be. In terms of recovery...he's a high level college athlete with every trick of quick recovery at his disposal. Without knowing the exact type of break or fracture normal people healing time is 6-12 weeks so I like him on the low end of that range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again depending on severity of break. My logic says if he needed surgery to repair it, it wasn't a hairline fracture. Actually sounds pretty severe to me, but I'm no medical expert. Woody even said something to the effect that we may not see him again on the floor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on severity and that we'll never know. If by Feb 1st we aren't hearing a sniff of him that tells me it was a really bad break.

mrflynn03 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 A broken bone typically takes 6-8 weeks to heal. I'm guessing X has an exceptional recovery plan. With it being a foot brings in to question what will his conditioning and strength be after recovery. He will probably still have pain,weakness and stability issues for weeks after the bone heals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Iowa getting pounded by Nebraska. Hard to say if that is good or bad for us. Just wish they would have an off night against us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWB Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Last I heard the team went home for the holidays, and were to report for practice after Christmas. Not exactly sure of the date, but I want to say 27-28th. Might even be later. I don't follow anybody on twitter, you might want to check there for more info.

Pretty sure Woody sa12/28 in his KSU post-game presser. That said, wonder how many had flights booked on Southwest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Iowa loses 83-79 to Penn State, their first half was awful but woke up in the second half and came back. However, made lots of mistakes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Attendance will be interesting in this game, as Iowa doesn’t start classes until the 17th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 this is a REALLY long break between games. need some Hoosier bball. i guess this makes it likely that we're a little rusty, but fully healthy and hungry to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdug Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Sounds like Bates is starting with Galloway coming off the bench vs Iowa: https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/mike-woodson-says-tamar-bates-will-start-against-iowa/. I like the move, should improve the starting units offensive punch. Also like that Coach Woodson is willing to switch up the starting lineup since we’ve been horrible at the start of several games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 If we can play ½ as hard as Rutgers is playing PU, we'd win @ Iowa by a landslide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a good move... Trading offense for defense, and Iowa is weak at the guard position... Get Tamar started early because you know Fran will double Trayce and we need to make shots...

In terms of competing for the conference I think you're probably right about this. Not just because of this game, but building some momentum heading into a stretch of games that we need to pile up a lot of wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted January 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I know a lot of people think losing XJ kills our chances at challenging for the Big 10 title...But, are we really losing a lot by putting the ball in the hands of JHS and starting Bates, with Galloway coming off the bench? Here are the per game totals for JHS vs XJ... Not a lot of discrepancy there...I do think XJ is a better on the ball defender, and JHS is a better rebounder, but beyond that, the numbers are very similar... But I think Tamar is the key...In his last 5 games, these are his numbers... He's gotta have close to those numbers for us to win on the road... The other key, to me, is Race's defense on Kris Murray...Murray has matured into something close to his brother Keegan...20 ppg and 10 boards...If Race can clamp down on him like he did in the BTT, I think we have an excellent shot at this one...Rebraca has been their only other offensive threat lately, and Trayce simply dominates him...18 points and 11 boards in the first game, 31 and 10 in the second, while Rebraca had 4 points and 4 boards in the regular season game, and 0 points and 4 boards in the tournament... Let's see if we've progressed going on the road... Edited January 3, 2023 by IUFLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 To me it all comes down to: Does team Jekyl show up, or Does team Hyde show up. Frankly, I'm worried we won't show up until the 2nd half again, and that may be too late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
