The Tooth Fairy played a visit to Texas guard Kerwin Roach during Wednesday’s game against Iowa State, but probably not in the manner he would have preferred.
Roach was elbowed in the mouth by Cyclones guard Lindell Wigginton while trying to guard his counterpart, and the blow ended up knocking his tooth out.
