Joshua Jefferson injured in Iowa State win, status vs Kentucky unknown
Iowa State star Joshua Jefferson was injured and played just three minutes during the second-seeded Cyclones' win against No. 15 Tennessee State.
Joshua Jefferson was the Iowa State Cyclones' leading rebounder (7. 6 per game) and second-leading scorer (16. 9 per game) in 34 games this season.
But he was injured and played just three minutes during the second-seeded Cyclones' 108-74 win against No. 15 Tennessee State in the NCAA Tournament round of 64. The Cyclones are scheduled to face the seventh-seeded Kentucky Wildcats in the round of 32.
Jefferson's status for the UK game isn't known. "As for Iowa State … very interested and concerned frankly about the status of Josh Jefferson," CBS/TNT analyst Seth Davis said. "He was (one of) my first-team All-Americans.
Obviously (they) didn't miss him today … but you see what Kentucky's able to do in terms of their ability to defend the wing, attack the rim and defend the rim. I hope he's okay, because the Cyclones are gonna need him. Not only for that game but moving forward.
