Ju Ju carried off the court with an injury

[UConnJim]

I hope she is OK.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Damn! Just damn.

 

[Blue Huskie]

I hope she is OK.

Did not look good.

 

[NHUConnfan]

Oh goodness, no weight on it. That's really bad.

 

[DefenseBB]

What happened? We are driving back from Gampel-what a night…

 

[hookshot]

Could not have looked worse - can't imagine

 

[dtbtbtb]

I just pray that it is not the 3 letter most dreaded word in WBB

 

[NHUConnfan]

What happened? We are driving back from Gampel-what a night…

She was driving to the basket on a fast break and got fouled. Not a nefarious foul...good basketball play. But she instantly grabbed her knee and could not put any weight on it.

 

[GiladKatzDeli]

Hate to see that happen, she's a special player. Hope she's ok.

 

[iri10]

That's not fair. Not to her or her team or women's college basketball as an enterprise.

Swipe to see.. Awful

 

[UConnJim]

It looked like her right knee buckled while driving to the hoop and they had to carry her off the court.

 

[DefenseBB]

Thank you @RoadMaster, much appreciate. Yikes! That does not look good but let’s hope we hear it isn’t the dreaded ACL. Fingers crossed….

And Samuels is on the floor getting assistance after being BODIED. This game is getting ugly.

 

[Bone Dog]

Her knee buckled. It’s clear from the replays. Had nothing to do with the defenders. It looks pretty bad. I’m afraid Juju’s season is over.

Just be be clear, I am not “liking” that her knee buckled, but your assessment of the injury

 

[ThisJustIn]

Nauseous.

 

[ABCDFE]

Damn man. I hate to see these injuries. I love watching her play. Praying for her and hope it’s not serious

You’re right. It’s ugly. That’s why I turned the channel after Juju’s injury. State is playing high school ball and they are fouling like crazy.

Nonsense, the defender went up and blocked her shot. Yes, it was a foul but nothing more.

Ju Ju’s injury had nothing to do with Miss State players.

 

[Plebe]

A terrible sight to see. UConn fans know it all too well.

Best wishes to Juju for a quick recovery.

 

[Blue Huskie]

USC fans are booing mercilessly but these are not hard or flagrant fouls. Just bad results for the USC players so far.

 

[oldhusky]

Anybody else find the crowd reaction to Mississippi State a little unusual? It sounds like they are getting a constant booing whenever they tough the ball. I get how incredibly disappointing the injury was, but didn't see any ill intent or reason for this kind of a reaction.

Southern Cal's players have reacted admirably to the situation but I think their fans have demonstrated a certain lack of class. At least that is the way I see it.

I saw the play live (on TV) and the replays... There was mild bumping, and she went slightly off-balance, which may have contributed to the injury...

But like others said, it could have been one of those things where the knee was "ready to go" and the action may have "helped" the knee go out.
