Iowa has emptied the training room for today’s game at Northwestern.

All 12 players the Hawkeyes have eligible for today’s game are dressed and warming up to face the Wildcats.

If he sees action, Jeff Peterson will be playing for the first time since suffering a hamstring strain midway through the second half of a Feb. 11 game at Wisconsin. The sophomore who leads Iowa in assists has missed the team’s last three games.

Jermain Davis has not played in the Hawkeyes’ last two games since suffering a knee bruise during an accident in practice on Feb. 19.

If either or both see action, it should ease pressure on a backcourt that has seen starters Jake Kelly, Devan Bawinkel and Matt Gatens play all 85 minutes Iowa has played in two games this week, a Sunday overtime win over Michigan and a loss Wednesday at Michigan State.
