Iowa coach still waiting on eligibility issues

Iowa coach Steve Alford says he will find out on Tuesday which, if any, members of the Iowa basketball team will be academically ineligible for the second semester. The semester begins tomorrow and Mike Henderson, Nick Dewitz and Erek Hansen all took interim classes. Hansen played in Saturday’s loss at Illinois, Henderson and Dewitz did not. The Hawks return to action Wednesday night at Iowa State. Alford says they’re in scramble mode right now to try and figure out who they have before the can know how much changing they have to do. The Hawkeyes lost senior center Jared Reiner last week when he underwent surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right foot.Alford says they may apply for a medical redshirt for Reiner though Alford says they would probably need to go through an appeal process because of the number of games he played in this season
