It was an awful night for Jamal Shead and the Houston Cougars.
The starting guard who was second on the team in scoring and led them in assists and steals per game left with an ankle injury with under seven minutes in the first half — he was seen on crutches after the game, but had to painfully watch as his team lost to Duke 54-51, with the Blue Devils stunned the No. 1 seed.
But there was a classy set of moments after, as Duke players came and dapped him up both on the bench and in the tunnel. That was lovely of them:
