Sometimes you need breaks to go deep in the NCAA tourney. Duke caught a big one last night. On the flip side, I feel for Jamal Shead. Last game of an incredible career, has worked and become an elite PG and leader, and suffers injury that doesn’t allow him to play most of the…
Jamal Shead was lost to injury last night and Houston fell to Duke. Powerful video. But THIS is how I'll remember Shead, who cleaned up his team's mess after a controversial loss at Bama two seasons ago. https://t.co/rfTGxEKTvs https://t.co/lUOBwnNhBk

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.
Brutal circumstance for @UHCougarMBK star Jamal Shead, going out for rest of game with early first half ankle injury when Cougars were up 6 on @DukeMBB.

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.
Give the Houston Cougars a ton of credit for being there at the end after being down numerous bodies — including arguably the best point guard in the country in Jamal Shead.
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
Brutal for Houston to go down without Shead.
Shead happens
Duke advances. Really brutal way for Houston to go out with Jamal Shead hurt.
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. 🤔
Painful to watch Houston play offense without Shead. And yet hard to believe the Cougars would have lost without him. So unfortunate.
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.
Why Jamal Shead? Why did he have to be the one to get hurt? Man, that sucks. Everything about Shead on and off the floor is awesome. Sports are the absolute worst sometimes. Sucks for Houston and for college basketball.
Jamal Shead with a badly sprained ankle X-rays negative Had ankle retaped tight and will try to give it a go in second half at some point

Jamal Shead is out of the locker room and walking but not warming up for the second half. He’s standing in the corner of the court.

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.
Oh man. Really hope Shead is ok. That would really suck
NOOOO NOT SHEAD

Shead being hurt would be devastating
Oh goodness, not a Jamal Shead injury.
Houston's Jamal Shead down in serious pain under the basket. Getting up now but unable to put much pressure on his right ankle/foot.
Shead is down.
Jamal Shead down in major pain. Let’s hope he is OK. This would be brutal.
