Without White Wisconsin wins bigger than they did in Madison. But a broken collarbone would likely end his career unfortunately. I just hope they can get a home court NIT run at this point.

That's kind of what I was thinking. My brother broke his collar bone when he was in HS and reacted pretty much the same way.
I guess I never thought this through. If this is the case, what a horrible way to end your run as one of the best in Iowa history.

I will be shocked if it is broken. That should be easy to diagnose and there's no advantage to keeping it a secret...that I can see.

Has anyone on here emailed the Iowa medical staff to tip them off that they need to check for a broken collerbone?

His collarbone is not broken. He is day to day.
He'll be back....
Everyone needs to RELAX.....Hawks have the talent to play in the NIT or NCAA this year.....I hope it is the NCAA, but I would take a 1 or 2 seed in the NIT and get some home games in the postseason

Hopefully he can make it back soon. If something like this had to happen, it actually came at a good time for Iowa. Next 3 games are probably losses even if AW was 100%. Even 1 win in this span would have been an upset with White playing.
1/31 Wisconsin
2/5 @ Michigan
2/8 Maryland
The next 3 after that are Minnesota, @Northwestern, & Rutgers. Games Iowa should win even if White doesn't play.
Then 3 swing games starting Feb 22: @Neb, Ill, @ PSU.
Basically White will have about a month to heal before that swing game stretch.

Apparently, one should Email the Purdue medical staff, who gave such
great care in South Lafeyette,or wherever the he** Purdont is located.
A down year for them, no doubt. Its more about the match-up. Teams with good guards that can score are bad matchups for Iowa, especially on the road. Irvin & Walton are going to control the game with or without White.
Its the same reason I think the game at Penn St is a swing game for Iowa. They are not good, tied last place in the B1G. But PSU is a tough matchup for Iowa because Newbill will dominate the backcourt against them.

I think Iowa will get 1 of these 3 without White. We have a decent shot at getting 2 with him. But 1 will be enough because we should win 6 of the last 8...getting us to 11-7.
I agree about the guard play and Penn State. I would just put Michigan in the swing game category is all.

I would also PC, Iowa never plays well in Michigan, that'll be a tough game to win....

I also agree. We don't get many wins in the state of Michigan. But I've watched this Michigan team play. They have nothing inside. Our front court guys should be able to score at will and get 2nd and 3rd chances. So I feel like this is one of those rare chances to steal 1 up there...even without White.

As most of you know I am a glass half full kind of guy. But my gut is telling me this is much worse than what the coaching staff or Aaron are letting on. Would it surprise anyone to learn he was out until at least the BTT, or even that his Iowa career was done?

Then Dickerson becomes the 9th player in the rotation and we move forward. Game planning with White and then not having him is much different than knowing he won't play and game planning with different personnel. I'm not saying we're better without White...of course this isn't the case. But we are different and different may be something other teams aren't prepared to face or used to seeing.
