[Herky] FRAN MCCAFFERY DISMISSES THE CONCERN THAT HIS TEAM MIGHT BE AT RISK OF LETDOWN AT PENN STATE ON WEDNESDAY

[Larry Edwards]

And it could be a bigger challenge if junior forward Tyler Cook can’t play. Iowa’s leading scorer and rebounder is questionable for the Penn State game due to an ankle injury that he sustained late in the second half of last Saturday’s 72-62 victory over Ohio State at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. 

“He’s doing pretty good,” McCaffery said. “He did not practice (Monday) and he’s going to try and do some stuff today. We’ll see how it goes.” 

... 

The good news concerning Cook’s injury is that it’s not as serious as Luka Garza’s ankle injury that caused Iowa’s 6-11 sophomore center to miss over two weeks of practice and two games in late December. 

“I’m more encouraged than Luka’s,” McCaffery said. “Luka’s was a bad one. This is not a good one, but it’s not like that. You knew Luka was going to be out for a while.”
