Limited workload in return McCaffery (arm) logged four minutes and collected one rebound in Thursday's victory over Maryland.

Impact McCaffery missed Iowa's last matchup Sunday against Minnesota due to an arm injury but was cleared in time for Thursday's clash. McCaffery has seen his role in the rotation fluctuate at times throughout the season, but after putting up a season-high 12 points Jan. 31 against Penn State, it's odd that he would be held to just four minutes. This likely points to the fact that the team was simply taking it easy with McCaffery in his return from an injury.
