The Iowa Hawkeyes are expecting senior guard Tavion Banks to play in their upcoming game against the Washington Huskies, despite Banks dealing with an injury that limited his minutes in the team's previous game. Head coach Ben McCollum said he "expects" Banks to be available, providing a positive update on the 6'7" 215-pound Missouri native.
Why it matters
Banks has been a key starter for the 16-5 Hawkeyes, who are looking to extend their four-game winning streak and solidify their position in the Big Ten standings. With a tough upcoming schedule that includes several ranked opponents, having Banks healthy and available will be crucial for Iowa's success.
The details
Banks played a season-low 11 minutes in Iowa's recent win over Oregon, but McCollum indicated the injury is not serious. Banks has only played fewer than 20 minutes in six games this season, most of which were blowout wins. The Hawkeyes will need Banks' production against a Washington team that has been competitive despite a 12-10 record, with four players averaging over 13 points per game.
