The Iowa State senior guard just finished two grueling years in Iowa State's basketball program. He wants to take some well-deserved time off. 

Some players look for reasons to leave. Killyan Toure is looking for reasons to return to Iowa State next season.

Will Jefferson have to wrestle with the “what if” of his ankle sprain for the rest of his life?

Retaining Milan Momcilovic would be huge for Iowa State. He was one of two players to start and play in all 37 games this season.

Joshua Jefferson wasn't even close to playing in ISU's sweet 16 game against Tennessee because of a sprained ankle.

Iowa State is attempting to reach the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight for the first time since 2000.

Joshua Jefferson participated in the early shootaround portion of ISU's practice. High-top shoes give him support on his sprained left ankle. 

There will be another opportunity to create defensive havoc when No. 2 Iowa State plays No. 6 Tennessee on Friday (9:10 p.m. TBS).
