Disaster nearly struck for Arizona during Thursday's Sweet Sixteen matchup with Xavier.
Wildcats forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson went down awkwardly after a slight bump with teammate Stanley Johnson and was forced to leave the game with a left knee sprain.
Hollis-Jefferson appeared to be in immense pain and went back to the locker room to have his knee examined. However, he was able to return a short time later, receiving a resounding round of applause from the Wildcats' faithful as he joined his teammates.
