Video: Texas Tech's Tariq Owens Suffers Brutal Injury, Somehow Runs Back On Court to Return

Texas Tech forward Tariq Owens came down hard on his right ankle in the second half of Saturday night's Final Four game against Michigan State.

Owens stayed on the ground and grabbed his leg for a few minutes before he walked off the court with assistance. Moments later, Owens headed to the locker room. He was seen limping.

It appears that Owens landed on his teammate's foot and may have hyperextended his right ankle.

And then, he made his return...

CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson said that team trainers assessed Owens for a while and swapped out his shoes before his return to the court.
