Took the day off today, heading to the beach in a few.
Caleb Foster, point guard, Duke, had surgery less than 3 weeks ago so this is a bit of a surprise. He's a junior and an excellent 3 point shooter, 40%. If he does play expect him to have limited minutes. Cayden "little" Boozer has been excellent in his place, 28 combined points in the two tournament games and 10 assists vs only 2 TO's. He'll be tested against the pressure defense of St John's so even a few key minutes out of Caleb could be big for Duke tonight.
Joshua Jefferson, PF, Iowa State, he's a beast and a 2nd team All American. Iowa State didn't miss a beat without him in trouncing Kentucky but here again, Tennessee is an outstanding rebounding team and a few solid minutes out of their star could be the difference for the Cyclones. It's a lower sprained ankle, which isn't nearly as bad the high sprain, I've had them both and from playing basketball and turnaround time for the low sprain was much quicker and I didn't have access to the treatment I'm sure he's been receiving. All about pain tolerance, I think we see him on the court tonight.
FWIW, point spread aside, I believe Duke and Iowa State move on tonight. Good luck to everyone!
