Thompson practices; Vukusic doesn't
Suspended center Mike Thompson practiced Monday, leaving hope that his suspension would last only one game.
"You don't want your guys not playing," Carmody told the Daily Northwestern. "You have rules and just want guys to abide by them."
Carmody did not indicate if Thompson would play against Iowa, but indications are that he would.
In other bad news, forward Vedran Vukusic did not practice Monday and is a game-time decision for Iowa. If Vukusic and Thompson do not play Wednesday, the front-court would consist of Davor Duvancic and Vince Scott with a backcourt of T.J. Parker, Mohammed Hachad and Tim Doyle.
Suspended guard Brandon Lee also returned to practice after his suspension on Jan. 13. Lee will likely play Wednesday.
