Former Husky Mir McLean hurt her knee

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.

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.

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

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

Coach Mox announced last night that Mir is out for the season with a knee injury. No details provided. Tough for Mir. Also tough for UVA to lose their best player.

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

UPDATE on Mir McLean, for those who have been looking for an update on her injury
She posted this on her Instagram tonight: "Here’s the deal… in the summer I tore two ligaments in my thumb which resulted in me needing surgery in October. I was put in multiple casts and splints to allow me to play basketball for the first quarter of the season. I was left hand dominate for a month and learned to overcome the mental side of injuries. Recently I went up for a rebound and came down and dislocated my knee. I tore multiple ligaments including my ACL as well as having cartilage damage. University of Virginia Women’s basketball has been nothing but supportive and loving and I couldn’t ask for a better place to be in this moment. Although I’ll be out for some length of time I am in a state of joy and relief."
I hope she has a safe and healthy recovery.
