Life on the road can be very treacherous. Let’s hope the Hawks are ready to play.

Not a good feeling about this one. Riding high(er) for Iowa usually means the inevitable is about to happen.
We are either in 5th or 11th place in the conference depending on the outcome.
Absolutely must make PSU make shots from 15 feet out. If they beat you with jump shots then so be it. This PSU team is really bad offensively. Stopping the dribble drive will make or break the Hawks tonight.
Nothing official probably a game time decision. I could see, at best, getting spot minutes or put in if Iowa gets in trouble. Playing at all would be an impressive turnaround from a sprained ankle imo
In the last 3 BigTen Conference games where Iowa has played without their leading scorer due to injury, they are 3-0.
Let's hope we can make that 4-0 should Tyler not go tonight!

Illinois is a Sunday noon white out game would be my best guess. Also, don’t know what kind of turnout Illinois gets, but maybe they’re expecting some of their fans?
This is the correct answer. Weeknight including Friday is $25 adult / $10 youth. Weekend is $35 adult / $20 youth
Reasons to be cautious:
* Seems like Iowa doesn't play very well in this arena. I don't know why, but I've heard before the depth perception is odd for shooting? Anyway, history says this is not a good venue for Iowa.
* Tyler Cook isn't 100%. While I'm one who thinks he hurts the team in many ways, I can also admit he is explosive and draws fouls because of it. At any rate, this team is better with him than without him.
* PSU has taken some TOUGH losses this season. They're usually in the games. We know that if it is close at the end, Fran for whatever reason stinks at end game situations.
Reasons to be optimistic:
* As somebody else said, the Hawks will not be likely to overlook PSU if Cook is out.
* Joe W keeps getting better and the team increasingly looks to him to lead them on offense.
* Garza seems to be back in good health.
* Hawks are rolling.
All of this said, I'm afraid we lose tonight.

Hope so! Are we going to be in "shark infested waters"? What say you?Upward trajectory continues?
Looks like the last time we won there was Feb 28, 2015 and the game went to OT. Let's end that.
Interesting. @NW it seemed like the team played like they assumed a loss without him until, Fran famously exploded. Let's hope they don't need a reminder tonight.
Weird that this Register reporter never mentions the word "surgery" in this update.
Hell, he might play!!! Maybe he already had surgery & is already recovered!

Should know soon on Tyler Cook's status. Team is in the locker room & they're likely discussing now whether he'll play.

Might as well rest him in prep for this weekend. Play it safe and put it on the rest of the team to get the win against a sub .500 PSU team. They can make it happen.
