Per the report, the Hawkeyes listed sophomore wing Emely Rodriguez as out, along with senior forward Jada Gyamfi, who was announced as having a long-term absence in early December.

Michigan State will be without guard Theryn Hallock (10.6 ppg) and forward Isaline Alexander (9.6 ppg), which could potentially be an issue for the Spartans offensively, given the scoring impact both have on the floor. Iowa and Michigan State are scheduled to tip off at 7 p. m. CT, and the game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
