I'd say any concern of this not being real is not laid to rest...

Murray sidelined with foot injury

The Hawkeyes received some tough news on Thursday with Kris Murray expected to miss some time due to injury.

Win-Win for Iowa tonight. If they win, it was without Kris and if they lose it’s because Kris was hurt.

Being front row in the student section during the 2013 game might be my favorite memory from all of college. The floor was legitimately shaking when Gessell was shooting free throws. Loudest I have ever heard any sports event get.

My son is in the front row tonight in the student section in Iowa City in full ISU gear. He might have a great time, but also not so great depending on how it goes.

That should make tonight a win. Losing now would be awful.

Iowa's press will still be a problem and they'll rally to sell out for this December moment.

I still wouldn't count it as a bad loss so... whatever.

This games going to come down to which team can score more points.

I was hoping he would play so we can win fair and square but a win over the hawks is always a good one

It's time to work on our cliches.
The winner will be the team that wants it more!

Let's Go State!

The FS1 crew will be all over the Murray injury and all kinds of stuff about the physicality of the B1G.

That would be very funny since Iowa has played 0 Big 10 games this season

Channel 9 in CR said it was lower back problem. SID says foot injury. Something doesn't seem right. I thought t hy eye are a medical school.

No way, it’s all which team can stop the other team from scoring more than them.

Whatever team doesn't have the fewest points when the clock hits zero takes this game.

Gah I'm nervous

Soft.

Terrible news for Kris and for ISU.

It’s now a lose-lose situation for ISU. Win the game and it proves nothing since Iowa didn’t have their best player, and lose the game, and that’s flat out embarrassing.

Takes most of the enjoyment out of even watching it.

Tournament selection won't worry about a Murray injury come March. But if he's out long, it could hurt Iowa to the point of not being a good win/loss

 

[bbillings]

Well, it's like they say in basketball - let's do the basketball!

 

[Die4Cy]

LFG FTH

 

[Clonehomer]

Surprised how little the line moved without Murray. Perhaps he's not seen in as high regard as Hawk fans think?
