Arianna Jackson injury update, Iowa State guard exits Cincinnati game

As Iowa State women's basketball tried to mount a comeback late in its road game at Cincinnati on Jan. 7, the Cyclones had to do it without one of its most important players.

Junior guard Arianna Jackson left Wednesday night's game at Fifth Third Arena in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a lower-body injury. When a Cincinnati player drove to the lane, Jackson's left leg appeared to collide with the driving Bearcat.
