Hopefully just a hyperextension. It didn't look that severe in real time so fingers crossed.

Looked pretty bad to me. Haye to see that happen to any player.

This stinks. No contact injury is usually not good news. The scream on the floor is not a good sign.
 
I just returned from my jog along the Pacific Ocean to this game. Damn I had no idea Bryce Hopkins hurt himself that badly. That sucks. Here's hoping it's a minor sprain and nothing more :(
 
I hope he has a full recovery, preferably a quick one as well.

As someone with two knees that have been cranky for decades l won't watch a replay. That it was non-contact is concerning. I feel for the kid.
 
I was flipping back and forth between the UConn women's game and thee PC-Seton Hall game. Griffin and Hopkins went down with knee injuries at almost the same time. Griffin's looked bad. No contact on the way up.
 
I went strictly by him grabbing the knee immediately on no contact and screaming AHHHH so loud you could hear it through the broadcast.

It's usually pretty obvious when it happens to you (I wish I didn't know that personally).

MRI tomorrow morning. The post game presser seemed very solemn when his name was brought up
 
We'll never know it's a state secret. But wishing him a full and speedy recover.
 
I’m cautiously optimistic about this one - it didn’t look like the kind of non-contact injury where you just immediately think ACL.

He took some really awkward steps and then looked like he tripped himself and hyperextended the leg. Usually, with an ACL, it’s a jump stop or something similar where the body stops and one knee keeps going.

I hope it’s a hyper extension.

Trainer can usually tell by the amount of movement anterior/posterior if it’s an acl

My angry response has nothing to do with the post and everything to do with injuries that derail the whole season for a team. These kids work so hard to strive for success and then the injured kid is robbed of his passion and suffers, but the other kids are also robbed of their maximum chances for success and will never know what could have been. Even other teams don't want their own success not having won against the best version of other teams. Freemantle killed Xavier's upside, Hopkins would kill PC, Griffen's affect on the girls is cumulative with their other injuries, and I cross my fingers for Clingan's health. Heck, we will have wasted Paige's whole career on teams that have been decimated by injuries to her and others. It's an unavoidable part of the game but $#@%#^!

I share your sentiments

I was there and I'd be very happy but very surprised if it isn't serious.

Yeah, hate for it to be the case as Hopkins is one of the stars of the Big East. However, I'd be surprised if he plays again this season.

With Hopkins out, my guess Gaines becomes the starting 4 while Dual/Floyd will get more PT.

Hopkins's injury reminded me of Paige Buecker's first knee injury. Weird steps followed by an over-the-front hyperextension. She was out what 6-8 weeks? Significantly better than an ACL tear
