Tucker, the team's leading scorer through the first nine games of the year, will not practice or compete in games for the time being.
The guard's indefinite suspension is a result of an alcohol-related incident over the weekend that violated team rules and showed what coach Todd Lickliter called, a "lapse in judgement," according to Iowa's school newspaper.
"Anthony Tucker called me Sunday morning to tell me that he had a lapse in judgement, and he knew the ramifications for it," Lickliter said in the newspaper. "I'll just tell you, it was a lack of training. An alcohol-related lack of training."
Tucker has averaged 13.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game through Iowa's (7-2) first nine games this season.
