Hawkeye sophomore Anthony Tucker scored 17 in Iowa's 71-67 win over Drake Saturday night, hitting five threes in the process. Then he went out and got arrested for public intoxication for the second time in the last thirteen months. Coach Todd Lickliter suspended Tucker indefinitely.

According to the Des Moines Register article, the status on Tucker’s Facebook page is telling: “I’m outta here.”

Iowa next faces South Carolina State Monday night in Iowa City. Lickliter is supposed to talk more about Tucker’s status after that game.

The Hawkeyes are currently 4-7 on the season, and Tucker is the team’s second leading scorer, averaging 11.9 points per game.
