KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Houston forward J’Wan Roberts is expected to be a game-time decision for Friday's Big 12 semifinal against BYU. Roberts suffered a sprained right ankle early in the second half of Thursday's quarterfinal win against Colorado and did not return for the final 18 minutes.

Emanuel Sharpe scored 19 points before fouling out, and No. 2 Houston overcame an injury to veteran forward J’Wan Roberts in the second half to beat Colorado 77-68 on Thursday and advance to the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament.

Houston basketball forward J’Wan Roberts got honest about how serious his ankle injury was after leaving mid-game against Colorado. While the Cougars advanced to the Big 12 Tournament semifinals, but all eyes will be on the health of their All-Big 12 star for the rest of the week.
