What It Means:

Cook has been out since November 26 with a fractured right index finger but is eyeing the game against the North Dakota Fighting Sioux as his return date. If he has any setbacks, the freshman will remain out until the start of Big 10 Conference play on December 28 versus the Purdue Boilermakers.

Cook started his college career off strong with averages of 13.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while shooting 56.4 percent from the field in the six games before breaking his finger.
