Just when it seemed the Iowa men's basketball team was on the verge of putting its early-season injury woes behind it, the Hawkeyes suffered their most serious medical setback to date.
Freshman Jarryd Cole, who went down with a leg injury in Saturday night's 57-50 home win over Southeastern Louisiana, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, the team announced Sunday.
"I feel badly for Jarryd," Iowa coach Todd Lickliter said in a news release. "Injuries such as this are something you don't anticipate or prepare for. I know he will attack his rehabilitation as aggressively as he has basketball and academics through the first semester of his college career."
Cole, a 6-foot-7, 250-pound forward from Kansas City, Mo., averaged 6.6 points and 4.4 rebounds, and was tied for the team lead with a 66.7 field goal percentage.
