I didnt' see anything happen to the knee (if so I suspect a floor knock) but the ankle definitely rolled inward. My immediate reaction was, "oh ****, he's out for 2-3 weeks" as I figured it would balloon once he quit moving around and took his shoes off.

We need him against Kansas. It's a possession we hold a decisive advantage in and need to capitalize on it.
Yeah just thought the ice on the knee and not the ankle was odd - given the injury we saw.

With the way Kansas gets to the free throw line (ESPECIALLY AT HOME) playing with one true 5 man, and already without Jaz, it could be tough. Foul trouble is almost a sure thing.

Fact that any starter was in that game with 7 min to play up 34 points is ludicrous..

First time i've questioned TJ's coaching..

The game was over. Impossible for TT to come back even if TT stole every ISU possession and hit a 3 on every possession to end the game.

Game was over.

I was yelling to take out starters and then Osun.

Just a poor poor coaching decision.

You don’t pull your entire starting lineup that early. Under the 4 is pretty normal for a full change. But we should’ve probably had Shoon and Grill/Gabe flipped out.

TJ shuffles the bigs in and out. When you have 4 guys playing two positions it's tough to stop playing one of them.

The other three spots you have King, Watson and the walk on

This. Osun may start, but actually averages fewer minutes per game than Big Rob Energy (16 vs 18).

It looked bad on replay. His reaction was absolute pain. Then he sat on the bench without any treatment. Who knows...

He had a VERY noticeable limp at the end of the game.

I will never forget when DeAndre Kane rolled his ankle in Norman on Saturday so bad he had to be carried off the court into the locker room, only to play 37 minutes 2 days later on Monday against Kansas scoring 21 points.

What concerns me is the fact that there was an ice pack on his knee - not ankle.

Usually knee injuries take more time/are harder to come back from than ankles.
Often times when you roll your ankle the pain is in the knee. Thats how all of mine have been, for some reason I always feel the pain in my knee when I roll an ankle

Anymore, I almost feel like Shoon is backing up Big Rob rather than the other way around.

Shoon came from a system where he basically lurked around in the lane, looking to block shots, grab rebounds and get dunks. In TJ's system where we're constantly switching on defense, Shoon has to defend all over the court, making it more challenging to rack up the blocks, rebounds, and points. I think he's still adjusting to this and it may be causing him some frustration.
