Washington sophomore forward Bryson Tucker spent his freshman year at Indiana, and transferred last spring after his coach, Mike Woodson, was let go.

He played well in the Huskies' first three games, but sprained an ankle in the Baylor game and missed five weeks. During his first three games, the sophomore swingman from Bowie, Md. averaged 9.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He shot 46.2 percent from the field, and 41.7 on three-point shots.

He's seen limited action since then, averaging 13.5 minutes per game. He's struggled in the last three, shooting just 1-for-11 from the floor and missing all six threes. 

Tucker was a big recruit for Woodson, but his freshman campaign was disappointing. He played in 23 games and never got a start. He roles was severely diminished late in the year and barely played. He averaged 5.4 points and 2.9 rebounds a game. Tucker shot just 37.8 percent and was just 3-for-20 from three-point range. He didn't play at all in Indiana's last six games.

"I came in as a McDonald's All-American and I wanted to come in and impact the program as much as I could," Tucker told reporters earlier this season. "In the program, I just wasn't used. That's kind of how that went. There wasn't much to speak on."

Indiana fans supported Tucker through his struggled, and railed against Woodson often on social media for not playing Tucker. It's likely that he will get a warm reception on Sunday when he returns to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. 

"I'm sure he has some anxiety, but he's a competitor," Washington coach Danny Sprinkle said of Tucker. "I'm sure he's ready to get back to Indiana. I have a feeling he's going to play really well."

Tucker's ankle injury is just a small part of Washington's injury story this year. They haven't played a single game with their entire roster.

Junior forward Mady Traore will miss the entire season with a foot injury, senior forward Jacob Ognacevic isn't expected to return until January and players such as Hannes Steinbach, Desmond Claude, and Lathan Sommerville have all been out with respective injuries.

Sophomore guard Wesley Yates III will also miss an undisclosed period of time after undergoing wrist surgery.

Indiana fans might remember Claude, who played at USC last year. He scored 15 points in a loss to Indiana in Bloomington. He played at Xavier his first two years, and played against Indiana as a freshman as well.

Claude averaged 15.8 points per game last year, and he's played in nine games so far this season, averaging 14.8 points per game. He's scored 21 points or more three times in the past five games. He missed the start of the season with an ankle injury.
