Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Former Husky Mir McLean hurt her knee. It's bad. She was having a great season.

Damn-I love Mir. I've seen a few Virginia games this year and she looked really good.

Nan, I see on the reaction emojis, the SAD emoji is labeled DISLIKE. I have a feeling TEMERY did that. but the Thumbs down is already dislike, we don't need a second one. This post needs a SAD emoji.

In the category of other teams suffering significant injuries, I was watching Iowa State Oklahoma game ( Oklahoma won). The Cyclones suffered a significant loss less than two minutes in when 6-foot-6 Stephanie Soares went down with an apparent knee injury.
Soares, one of the best bigs in the conference if not the country, was already making a significant impact on the game. Soares had a bucket and a block before exiting the game.
Soares is the fourth-leading scorer in the Big 12 at 15.4 points per game, leads the conference in blocks at 3.2 per game and is second in the league in rebounding at 10.8 per game.

You can use the frown. I know you’re frowning at/disliking what I posted, not at me personally.

Our curse has followed Mir to Virginia. Sad for her, good player and better kid.

I just saw it on DVR. I haven't heard screaming like that since Mosqueda-Lewis's elbow injury many years ago. And it went on for several minutes. It looked like an ACL, but didn't sound like it. Scary.
I hope she makes a full recovery and takes UVA up another notch next year.

Wow! I can still hear KML’s scream. I couldn’t watch the replay after it happened. Wishing the best for Mir.

I've been watching basketball for decades, can't remember a reaction that bad
A fun player to watch. I hope it wasn't as bad as it looked/sounded.Shea Ralph’s 1997 injury against Leigh in the tournament silenced Gampel. Scream was sickening. Have been told Shea has never watched the replay.

Iowa State's Stephanie Soares Leaves Game With Injury
Stephanie Soares left Sunday’s Big 12 women’s game between Iowa State and Oklahoma in the first quarter of Sunday’s game in Norman, Okla. The Iowa State center went down with 8:03 left in the first quarter when she made a move to the basket for a shot attempt and came down awkwardly on her left […]

First, I wish only the best and a speedy recovery for MIr and any player who sustains an injury. I also understand that many knee injuries are "non contact" in nature.
However, watching so many games with flying bodies as a result of elbows to the head, pushing off, attempts to draw fouls, etc. I think that the rules of basketball, or at least how those rules are enforced, need to be carefully reviewed. It may change the game and be ugly until the players adjust, but the extent and severity of injuries throughout the women's game is ruining the sport in my opinion.

If only rule changes could impact non-contact injuries....

I hate these threads. And it's not a hate dislike for anyone that posted obviously. UCONN fan or not.

Exactly. Same here. Always loved Mir and I would watch a few Virginia games this year. Mir was having a decent season pretty much continuing her run from last year. I feel bad for Mir and hoping for a speedy and safe recovery.

She’s in the leg splint so I’m guessing a torn acl
Me, too
