Injuries derailed the Cougars' in the last three NCAA Tournaments, so being cautious with Roberts in the Big 12 tourney is the right call

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.

The influx of Japanese players on the Dodgers' roster has allowed the Okinawa-born Dave Roberts to reconnect with his background, and now he's poised to guide his team in a season-opening series in Tokyo.

The Dodgers have made Dave Roberts the highest-paid manager in Major League Baseball, a title he's proven over the years that he's deserving of.

No manager in American or National League history has ever won a higher percentage of their games than Roberts’ .627 clip. Roberts is now one of six managers to win four pennants with one club since baseball’s postseason expanded beyond just the World Series round in 1969, joining Earl Weaver, Sparky Anderson, Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Lasorda.
