In a pivotal Sweet 16 NCAA Tournament game, Houston suffered a significant setback when All-American guard Jamal Shead sustained a severe ankle sprain in the first half against Duke. Despite attempts to return to the game, including having his ankle retaped, Shead was ultimately unable to contribute significantly, which impacted Houston's performance. Duke capitalized on this, with Jeremy Roach stepping up in the second half to score 14 points, leading Duke to a narrow 54-51 victory. The loss was particularly poignant for Shead, marking the end of his collegiate career as he watched from the bench, draped in a grey hoodie, his right ankle badly sprained. This game underscored not only the critical role Shead plays for Houston but also the resilience of the team, which has faced numerous injuries throughout the season. Duke's win propels them into the Elite 8, while Houston reflects on what might have been had their key player been able to participate fully. Notably, Shead's X-rays came back negative, and he was seen using a scooter after the injury, highlighting the severity of his condition. This marks the second straight year Houston falls in the Sweet 16.

Two years after Duke and North Carolina met in the Final Four, two weeks after N.C. State beat UNC for an ACC title (and beat Duke along the way), the third leg of the Triangle will get its own moment of basketball apocalypse. https://t.co/Ibt48YEiFL
Houston All-American guard Jamal Shead says he was in so much pain walking to the court after halftime that he sat down on bench and almost cried.
Kyle Filipowski hadn't made three 3s in a game since the Jan. 20 loss to Pitt. He was 3-for-5 tonight. He'd only taken two 3s in Duke's last 3 games combined, missing both (one against JMU, one against N.C. State).

The final game of Jamal Shead's collegiate career ends with him sitting on the bench, his right ankle badly sprained and a grey hoodie draped over his head as the Cougars fall in the Sweet 16 for the second straight year.
That sucks for Houston. Nearly pulled it off even without Shead, their star. That’s such a brutal injury.
Wow @DukeMBB makes the most of a big break when All American Jamal Shead had to leave game due to ankle injury . Duke will SURVIVE & ADVANCE with 54-51 victory over # 1 seed @UHCougarMBK
Big-time performances from Jeremy Roach and Kyle Filipowski. Roach with 14 points in the second half, Filipowski with 16 and 9 — including a couple of big 3s. Horribly unfortunate for Houston’s season to end after yet another injury, this time to All-American guard Jamal Shead.
Brutal for Houston to go down without Shead.
Duke advances. Really brutal way for Houston to go out with Jamal Shead hurt.
DUKE ADVANCES TO THE ELITE 8🔥👀 Jeremy Roach scored 14 POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF AND Kyle Filipowski had a GAME-HIGH 16 POINTS‼️ https://t.co/B0tHYP61ob
I’m devastated for Jamal Shead.
Just feel awful for Jamal Shead right now.
Duke is in a one possession game with @UHCougarMBK minus Jamal Shead. 🤔
JEREMY 👏 ROACH 👏 @Jeremyroach10 x @DukeMBB (via @MarchMadnessMBB) https://t.co/BwM2DEmDsD
Painful to watch Houston play offense without Shead. And yet hard to believe the Cougars would have lost without him. So unfortunate.
JEREMY ROACH WITH THE FADER 😳 #MarchMadness @DukeMBB https://t.co/goMgRWicWq
Jeremy Roach clutch March fadeaway. "That's Jeremy f***in Roach" from the Duke section behind me.
Duke guard Jeremy Roach didn't score in the first half, has nine points in the first nine minutes in the second. Going to the line to shoot three free throws coming out of this stoppage.

This will sound weird, but, Houston being tied with Duke, with: * An All-American guard (Shead) on the sidelines * An NBA wing (Arceneaux) out for the year * Their best big (J'Wan Roberts) basically playing on one leg Is a testament to how damn good this team is. Win or lose
Jamal Shead’s X-rays came back negative. He will try to play on a retaped, severely sprained ankle ‘at some point’ in the 2nd half, per @UHCougarMBK 🎥: @ChrisYBaldwin https://t.co/v73GJ8b4Wh
The second half between Houston and Duke is underway on KHOU 11. The Coogs' Jamal Shead was injured in the first half, but will try to get back on the court, according to the team. Watch live now on KHOU 11. https://t.co/1DqSe490m1 https://t.co/wm71si9wK7
Houston All-American point guard Jamal Shead is sitting on bench to begin the second half.
Even without NBA prospect, Terrance Arceneaux, injured in December, @UHCougarMBK were Top 3 with @UConnMBB & @BoilerBall. Then they lose future Coogs’ star JoJo Tuggler & Ramon Walker. Now Shead. They win without these guys, Kelvin’s going right to Springfield.

With Shead out, I’ve never seen a college basketball team have as much bad luck with injuries as the Houston Cougars! It’s amazing.

This Houston team has found a way to withstand injury after injury. Not sure the Cougars can win without the best two-way guard in the country - Jamal Shead. Need him back desperately.
Houston without Jamal Shead on the floor is a different team and not in a good way. Still hasn’t returned to the bench. Concerning for the Coogs.
Please let Jamal Shead be OK. That looked bad.
Welp, Houston is cooked. That’s brutal for Shead.
That ankle did not look great for Shead. Big blow for Houston.
Duke's going to need more from Jeremy Roach the rest of the way. 0-4 (0-2 3FG) with two turnovers. He's back in the game now.
Oh man. Really hope Shead is ok. That would really suck

Oh goodness, not a Jamal Shead injury.

Shead is down.

Strong start for Jeremy Roach
