Iowa coach Todd Lickliter reiterated Monday that Tucker isn’t in the doghouse because of his December suspension for alcohol-related issues. The reason Tucker’s playing time has been significantly diminished, Lickliter said, is that he’s still working his way back from lost practice time and an illness he fought through earlier last month.
‘‘That’s behind us, without question.
