Cooper revealed he wasn’t sure whether Crosby — who will undergo imaging on his leg — will play in Canada’s semifinal.
“I don’t even have my poker face on either, because I honestly don’t know,” he said, per ESPN’s Emily Kaplan.
Crosby remained in the game briefly after Gudas’ hit. He skated gingerly to the bench and was clearly in pain as he talked to one of the trainers. The 38-year-old eventually made his way to the dressing room favoring his right leg.

UCLA enters the matchup looking to bounce back after a tough stretch in Big Ten play, while Michigan State aims to continue building momentum on its home floor. The Spartans have been strong at the Breslin Center this season and currently sit near the top tier of the conference standings, making this a key opportunity for both programs as the regular season heads toward March.
The Bruins bring a roster filled with experienced talent, including guards Donovan Dent and Skyy Clark, along with forward Eric Dailey Jr., who have helped anchor UCLA’s offense this season. On the other side, Michigan State continues to rely on disciplined defense and efficient guard play, a hallmark of Tom Izzo-coached teams, as the Spartans try to strengthen their NCAA Tournament resume.
With conference standings tightening and tournament seeding becoming clearer each week, every result now carries extra weight. A road win would give UCLA a major boost heading into the final stretch of the season, while Michigan State can make a statement by defending home court against a nationally recognized program.
