Murray was limited to 8 points in the loss to Duke but is still the largest offensive weapon for the Hawkeyes to open the season. He is averaging 19.4 points per game while shooting 50% from the field.
Iowa is off to a strong 6-2 start to the season but has dropped 2 of its last 3 games with losses to TCU and Duke. After Iowa State, the Hawkeyes begin B1G play against Wisconsin on Sunday.
We’ll see how long Murray is out, but hopefully it is a quick return for the star forward.
