Indiana men’s basketball: What will Xavier Johnson’s absence mean?

The loss to Kansas wasn’t the only thing weighing heavy on the minds of Indiana’s fans on Saturday. Xavier Johnson, the Hoosiers’ starting point guard, went down with an injury in the first half and didn’t return.

Johnson was later seen leaving Allen Fieldhouse in crutches and Mike Woodson gave an update during his radio show on Monday:

Mike Woodson's update on Xavier Johnson

"Right now we're still evaluating him... he won't play tomorrow."

"We'll know more Wednesday"

Says Johnson is frustrated because this is his last year, but it's Woody's and his family's job to keep his head high.
