Iowa State Basketball's Joshua Jefferson Listed as Questionable for Sunday's Game

  • On Sunday, March 22, 2026, Iowa State beat Kentucky 82-63 in St. Louis, with Joshua Jefferson watching from the bench in a boot, as Otzelberger said 'He has an MRI scheduled for Monday at 11 a.m.'
  • On Friday, Jefferson sprained his ankle about 2 1/2 minutes into the first-round game and was officially ruled out before the second-round game.
  • By forcing 20 turnovers, Iowa State converted them into 25 points and outscored Kentucky 51, 33 after halftime, with Lipsey scoring 26 and Momcilovic adding 20.
  • Otzelberger said the team scheduled an MRI for Monday at 11 a.m., and the results could be critical as Iowa State faces Virginia or Tennessee in the Sweet 16 in Chicago on Friday.
  • Facing the Sweet 16, Iowa State must manage Jefferson's availability as his status remains uncertain, but the team’s depth supports the Cyclones in their eighth trip and third under T.J. Otzelberger.
