6+ hour, 25+ min ago (259+ words) Video circulating after the game showed Daley jumping into the stands to slap hands with fans and then coming down awkwardly on his right leg; he was later seen leaving Lucas Oil Stadium on a cart with a brace. The injury introduced a sudden, ugly footnote to a signature night for the program, Indiana's first Big Ten title since 1967. Daley has been a disruptive force all season.
