IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa junior guard Josh Oglesby will be out six weeks with a broken right foot. Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery says Oglesby, a junior, broke a bone during practice on Wednesday. He was set to have surgery on Friday.  Oglesby is one of Iowa’s top perimeter shooters even though he struggled last season.

Oglesby, a native of Cedar Rapids, made 42 3s last season but shot just 27.4 percent from the floor.   Freshman Peter Jok could take Oglesby’s place as a shooter off the bench when Iowa opens its season Friday against UNC-Wilmington.
