IOWA CITY — Payton Sandfort is expected to be available for Iowa basketball’s Tuesday matchup with Minnesota, according to the Big Ten availability report. Sandfort got banged up multiple times in the first half of Iowa’s contest against UCLA on Friday and sat out the majority of the game.

Minnesota men’s basketball is in dire need of a win amid a four-game losing streak, including a double overtime heartbreaker to Ohio State. An 8-5 start is in the rearview mirror, and the Golden Gophers look to get back on track with a big win over Michigan.
