The Hawks leading scorer-who is also the leading scorer in the B10- might not play Saturday. Having problems with his back. Iowa usually starts 3 freshman and a sophomore and now maybe 4 freshman?? gl
Iowa-Jok?
- Thread starter hawkeye
- Start date
He's been hurt for a few games and it's obvious.
The Hawkeyes aren't going anywhere this season so it's a smart move to keep him out of the lineup for a few games and let him heal a bit

IOWA CITY, Ia. ? Sending Peter Jok to the bench for a week or two might help his back pain go away; then again, it might not.
That?s only part of the dilemma facing Iowa coach Fran McCaffery about whether to temporarily shut down his banged-up star senior.
?I think it's a legitimate consideration,? McCaffery said before Friday afternoon?s basketball practice. ?I look at it like this, it can't hurt. If he is sore in certain areas, rest can only help you. Is it one of those things where the first time he gets banged, it's going to feel the same regardless of whether it takes two days or 10 days? I can't tell you that. Only he can tell you that, and only our doctors and medical personnel can tell you that.
