WATCH: OU embodies sportsmanship as Memphis' Rykhoek is stretchered off court

This is another in a long line of tough injuries for Rykhoek

After a collision with Oklahoma's Matt Freeman, Memphis big man Chad Rykhoek went down with a scary injury in the second half on Saturday in Norman. The immediate reaction was an awesome show of sportsmanship, with both teams huddling around him to show their support.

Along with the players, the fans in Norman showed their support. Pretty classy gesture here by the road crowd understanding the gravity of the situation. They got to their feet with a standing ovation.

As you can see, he was carted off the floor on a stretcher immediately after trainers tended to him. He appeared to be in good spirits and was able to get himself up from the floor, which is a good sign.

The specific injury is yet to be determined, but it is another in a long line of misfortunes for Rykhoek. He had troubles staying healthy during his undergraduate time at Baylor, too. He endured four hip surgeries, and never played for the Bears.

He was playing 16.4 minutes per game this season for the Tigers, and contributing 6.4 points.
