Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery says Kris Murray and Connor McCaffery will play tonight (Thursday night), when the Hawkeyes visit Nebraska. Murray missed the last four games with a leg injury while Connor missed the loss to Eastern Illinois with a sprained wrist.

With Murray out senior center Filip Rebraca has stepped up for the Hawkeyes by averaging 21 and a half points and nine rebounds the past four games.

Nebraska is 7-6 overall and the Huskers nearly upset top ranked Purdue.

McCaffery hopes an embarrassing loss to Eastern Illinois will serve as a learning experience for his team.
