Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says the Hawkeyes are getting some much needed rest. The Hawks fell to 3-4 in the Big Ten with a Tuesday night loss at Purdue and don’t return to action until next Thursday against Nebraska. McCaffery says the time off will allow the Hawkeyes to concentrate on the practice floor. The last couple of weeks have been a roller coaster ride for the Hawks but McCaffery says he has not been able to see the bad performances coming. Iowa is 11-9 overall.
