In positive news on the injury front, senior forward Tavion Banks is not listed after dealing with an illness leading up to the Hawkeyes' 75-69 loss to Illinois on Jan. 11, which caused him to lose 10 pounds in a matter of days according to head coach Ben McCollum.
The Hawkeyes and Boilermakers will tip off from a sold-out Mackey Arena at 5:30 p.m. CT, with the game airing on the Big Ten Network.
