Michigan State's Ibok Suffers Gruesome Injury, CBS Shows It

Michigan State sophomore Idong Ibok suffered an ugly elbow injury in the first half of the Spartans' NCAA Tournament game against Marquette. The injury had to remind anyone watching of the awful knee injury suffered by Shaun Livingston of the Clippers.

The CBS cameras stayed focused on Ibok's misshapen elbow long after it was clear what had happened. Commentator Jay Bilas had already diagnosed the injury as a dislocated elbow, and play-by-play man Dick Enberg said, "I think we've seen enough of that already," but CBS wasn't done showing it. Between closeups of the elbow and a subsequent replay, I think CBS may have made some viewers lose their dinners.

From the looks of his elbow, Ibok (pictured guarding Wisconsin's Alando Tucker in the Big Ten Tournament), who typically plays about 10 minutes a night, is almost certainly out for the rest of the tournament.
