Iowa forward Devon Archie's status undetermined for Sunday's game vs. Minnesota

IOWA CITY - It's still undetermined if Devon Archie will play or miss a second straight game after suffering a concussion last week at Indiana.

Archie played just three minutes against the Hoosiers and left the game after a hard collision with Victor Oladipo with 6 minutes, 15 seconds left in the first half. Archie still had concussion symptoms Wednesday and did not play against Wisconsin.

“Concussions are just a funny thing,” Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said Friday. “Really you try to determine the level or seriousness, and some are worse than others.

“The reality is different people react differently to them. Until he doesn't have any headaches, he's going to be on the side and he's still got to pass the mobilit stuff. So we'll see.”

Archie averages about eight minutes a game and he could fill vital minutes against Minnesota's front wall of 6-foot-11 Ralph Sampson III, 6-10 Colton Iverson and 6-8 Trevor Mbakwe.

“We could use him. We really could,” McCaffery said. “He's been playing well, and they're so big. He's a shot blocker and a rebounder and a runner - because we want to run - and he outlets the ball. I'm hopeful he can play and he wants to play.”
