Dara Mabrey of ND helped off court with serious leg injury.

[Bama fan]

The Mabreys are a competitive lot, and have given UConn fits for years. But I think no one wants to see an opponent injured. I wish her a good recovery and her team good luck in all but one more game this year.

I hope Dara has a full recovery and is able to continue playing basketball after college.

so bummed, idk if there's a possible way she gets another year but she hopefully does. She deserves it.

Unfortunately, her collegiate playing days are done. It sucks!

Hate to see anyone end their college career with an injury, especially a starter for a team that has a good chance to play well into the tournament. The Mabrey's all have a lot of grit about them so she will come back from this and even if she never plays in the WNBA she will probably land on her feet.

I am not comparing the women to the men. I am comparing the women today to women 20 yrs ago and I'm not really concerned about any one specific type of injury. There seem to be more injuries overall now.......

Ah. My misunderstanding. I think the sport is much more physically demanding than thirty years ago. It places more strain on the players per game, and there are more games and less downtime due to growth of travel ball.

Playing almost year round is not good on the body. They have the AAU circuit during the spring and summer when their body should be recovering when in High school.
You have Many of the WNBA players being hurt playing year round.

I'm afraid not. Thisi was already Dara's "Covid" year and she's played more than half the season.
While she won't be able to play, you can bet she'll make her presence known (check the sidelines in future games!)

How does ND fill Dara's void? She wasn't shooting great per se' but seemed to add to the ND edginess that is/was always pervasive....

Also, I do not see Dara making a WNBA team, whether she can go oversees is an unknown so I wonder if she will follow in Mick's coaching steps....Thoughts?

I think she will make a great women's coach. Hopefully she stays within program, idk if she would pursue Wnba career.

Last night she was at the end of the bench and in the fourth quarter, the camera did a cutaway and she was holding a video camera (probably James Spinelli's, the video director for ND) and was obviously reviewing something. She'll keep busy: her potential coaching acumen is already noted; and, she has expressed a possible interest in television.
