Tough shooting day in loss Cox contributed 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 78-72 loss to Gonzaga.

Impact Cox couldn't find his shooting stroke in the narrow loss to Gonzaga. The guard shot 37 percent from deep last season, but was just 1-of-5 from beyond the arc in the opener. Cox has proven to be a stellar shooter during his Purdue career, so he figures to bounce back. Still, this Boilermakers' roster that saw so much talent depart isn't going to be able to survive down nights like this from Cox as easily.

Playing against Longhorns Cox (knee) is available and starting in Thursday's game against Purdue, Nathan Baird of Cleveland.com reports.

Impact Cox was questionable ahead of the Sweet 16 matchup against the Longhorns, but he'll now be good to go and in the starting five. The 6-foot-3 sophomore hyper-extended his knee during the Round of 32 during the Boilermakers' Round of 32 win over Miami (FL), so it's a sigh of relief that he'll be back in action for an even bigger game. He's logged 11 points in each of Purdue's first two NCAA Tournament games, and he averages 8.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists this season as an every-game starter.
