Have no issue with Stanford scheduling generally, but I didn't quite follow how starting ACC play next year required cancelling the game in Columbia this year.

I'm not sure SCar has seen a heavyweight this year, which is in my bag of worries.

I disagree. Utah was probably the quickest team That SC would have seen and everyone else you could mention has the same dimensions of what South Carolina has played. Players who are All American types but do not have the bench or depth to stay with them. LSU on the road is as star studded as they come. UCLA was a team that seemed to be a heavyweight, but as time has passed I have seen them lose to teams with no height and their struggle even in a win against Fla. State seemed to put them back in the pack of a good team. Stanford would be a nice matchup, but they have no depth, and are extremely vulnerable when anyone in the starting five get into foul trouble, which is almost inevitable when playing SC this year. I think LSU on the road was tough in terms of opposing talent. Utah was tough in terms of a team where all five shoot the three, and all returners in experience level, and Uconn wsa tough in terms of a team with excellent coaching that has two All American type players with vast experience. I am not sure if there is a "heavyweight" that SC has not played that could bring anymore than what they have seen with thier schedule. Maybe Ohio St., but the height issue could make that game similar to some of their early season games against teams like UNC, who has more height or Duke on the road.

Thought I read that it wasn't just an ACL, and found this on instagram - " 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."

With the significant amount of damage, and possible multiple surgeries for reconstruction and repair, it wouldn't surprise me if Mir waits until next season to return. I'd love to see her back in action as her energy was amazing.
Expand ...
When Coach Mox spoke she indicated that if Mir were cleared she’d play her. But then she hesitated and said something that indicated that that might not make sense given the number of games left. One question would be whether Mir intends to return to bb next year. I don’t know the answer to that. But she’s reportedly a good student and is interested in some type of foreign affairs career.
 
Sadly, this brought back memories of Shea Ralph and Jacki Gemelos. :(

Davidson had to forfeit a few games, now I know why :eek: Darn shame... cause if they would have stayed healthy they would contend in the A-10.







Deegan was their leading scorer
Dunn was their 3rd leading scorer
Morgan was their 5th leading scorer
Jackson was a reserve..
Sutphin is their 2nd leading scorer... has missed 12 games earlier in the season, and didn't play in tonight's loss to GW.
And 2 players who started games last year were lost to injury prior to this season.

Wow that does explain a lot. Too bad. I was wondering how their season went so far south after such a promising start.
 
Injuries kill.

Davidson's OOC results were enough to earn them at-large bid. Road win at Duke and close loss at UNC. It's a real shame the injuries killed their season.
 
Hawks starter Molly Davis just went down with a knee injury vs Ohio State. Looks like a bad one. They carried her off, didn't even try the limp off walk. :( What a thing to happen in her senior game and just before the NCAA's.

Saw it and it looked bad. Hate it for the young lady.

Was looking forward to an exciting final day of regular basketball as a neutral fan, but ended up being bummed out despite the impressive Caitlin Clark show.

Heartbreaking seeing Molly Davis and then Kitley. Molly Davis was obviously bad, she was carried off and in a wheelchair later. Kitley situation a little more unclear, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s bad. Really unfortunate.

Don’t forget about Holmes! Are these all 5th year seniors too? Terrible.

Holmes looked more like a rolled ankle to me. Lily Meister (the backup to Holmes) also rolled her ankle late in the 4th.

In terms of Iowa injuries, besides Molly Davis' (likely) ACL today, our freshman backup PG Kennise Johnson also tore her ACL in practice this week.

Yes I was also sad to hear that happened, sorry should have mentioned it but I didn’t see that one live on tv like the other 2. Hope she will be ok. I think she was able to walk back onto the bench too.

Hate to see this happen to anyone but it’s devastating for 5th year seniors on the last day of the season.

Really tough for the teams having to plan around these key players suddenly being out at this juncture. Molly Davis may be less statistically crucial to Iowa than Kitley or Holmes are to their respective teams, but I get the sense that she was an emotional leader of sorts and definitely a fan favorite. All 3 players I have enjoy watching and they have represented their schools tremendously over their careers.

Kitley returned to the bench in her uniform, but didn’t return to the game. She didn’t appear to be that badly hurt, so I wondered if it was precautionary to keep her out of the game.

They said it was a left knee injury post game but seemed optimistic. I always get nervous about non contact knee injuries like that though.

Kenny Brookes sounded devastated post game but I thought Kitley’s didn’t look so bad. So who knows.

Kitley returned with tears in her eyes and as another poster said Brooks was super emotional in his post game....doesn't look good to me

Davis also helps to manage the offence to help balance Clark. The intangibles she provides are hard to put on a stat sheet.

I was momentarily optimistic when she walked out not really limping and smiling with no brace or anything on the knee.

But I don’t think I saw her stand up for the rest of the game and she had tears in her eyes every time they showed her.

I thought back to right when the injury happened, she went down and she was immediately shaking her head no and Brooks was out there so quickly. She had torn her ACL as a senior in high school so I’m afraid she knew immediately what it felt like.

Then Brooks was very emotional in the postgame press conference. Sadly it doesn’t seem good. Would love to be wrong.

I was watching that game and it did not look good. I feel for these players, especially when they are seniors and they are playing in their last game.

This makes it potentially very bad for all of them. No returning collegiate eligibility, and if a serious knee injury no chance for this upcoming WNBA season. Even if you do have college eligibility remaining, this is a terrible time to sustain a serious knee injury.

You lose the most important part of this season, and may not be completely back by the tournament next year. Sorta like the situation with Olivia Miles at Notre Dame.

Amid all the potentially college career-ending injuries to Davis, Kitley, Holmes, et al, that ACL incurred by Iowa PG hopeful Kennise Johnson probably will be of more than passing future interest to Iowa and Big Ten fans, since the Hawkeyes will be losing Clark, Davis, Marshall and Martin...
