Is J’Wan Roberts Playing Today?

The Houston Cougars 6’8" senior says he’s good to go for the tournament opener against the other Cougars. J’Wan Roberts missed Houston’s last two games with a sprained ankle, suffering the injury last Thursday in the Big 12 Tournament. The All-Big 12 First Team selection is averaging 10.8 points and a team-leading 6.3 rebounds per game on the season.

If Roberts and company can get past SIUE, they will play the winner of No. 8 Gonzaga and No. 9 Georgia in the round of 32.
