(Radio Iowa/Learfield) — Iowa is expected to be without leading three point shooter CJ Fredrick for tonight’s (Friday night’s) game against 12th ranked Maryland. Fredrick missed this week’s loss at Nebraska with a foot injury, becoming the third Hawkeye starter to go down. Fredrick’s injury means Iowa’s thin roster will need to log even more minutes.

Iowa is coming off a game in which it made only four of 33 from three point range. The Hawk’s two-post lineup will go up against a Maryland team that has primarily a four guard lineup. Maryland coach Mark Turgeon has been happy with his team’s progress. The Terrapins are 13-2 but they are 0-2 on the road.

Listen for the game beginning at 5-p.m., on KJAN, with the tip-off from Iowa City at 6-p.m.
