Although, the disaster for Stanford was the 2nd injury, without time to recover. Baring a repeat second injury, Notre Dame should be fine against Utah State, like them or not Notre Dame wasn't a one player team, just she was the best player. However, their 2nd round matchup does take on a different look.
If I remember correctly Mabrey and Miles are now out, which is almost a third of their made 3 pt shots, a combined 61 minutes a game and a combined 23.6 points a game. You are most likely correct, but one can hope can't they?
Yes, you can.If I remember correctly Mabrey and Miles are now out, which is almost a third of their made 3 pt shots, a combined 61 minutes a game and a combined 23.6 points a game. You are most likely correct, but one can hope can't they?
Who said this thinking doesn’t apply to NC St and/or FSU? I think all teams don’t disclose what won’t help them.
To be fair anyone with two eyes and a brain knew she was done for the year. The committee should have proceeded as if she would remain unavailable with that non update from Ivey.
Based on the tone of the thread, the focus has been on ND. That's what I'm basing my reply on.
Good point.
If she is expected to available for summer session, as was reported, it would seem as though it may not be an ACL or MCL. I’m neither a doctor nor someone who has stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, so I’m open to being enlightened on the subject; can someone be ready to go in 3 to 4 months?
Well, if it's something like a medial meniscus tear that can be addressed with arthroscopic surgery, there's a possibility she could be ready for some kind of workout, albeit it might be more recuperative. But who knows what the surgeons might find.
Well that ain't happening now. The match versus Miss State is going to be something though after seeing them last night.Already have ND losing in the 2nd round to Creighton
Yeah, who would have thought......... Oh well!
Despite my intense dislike of the ND aurora, I wish no ill on Miles. What you are suggesting, while not out of the realm of possibility, sounds more like a conspiracy theory. There are very good reasons for awaiting. Surgery is always the last option. Plus, often there are pre-surgery things need to occur such as reducing swelling, etc. Then there is medical scheduling and maybe personal reasons for delaying having nothing to do with seeding.
I offered only for consideration. Do I think they delayed the surgery for these reasons? NO!!!
For her sake as a person and athlete, I hope it's the least complex of these in terms of rectification and recuperation (I also was thinking meniscus). As an Irish fan, ditto that thought. On her own, paired up with backcourt mate Sonia Citron and the other Irish, she's a special player and ingredient to the Irish mix. Can't wait to see how incoming frosh Hannah Hidalgo and Emma Risch mix with her. Go 'Liv!
I think Miss State is gonna go on a little run. Just a vibe. I wouldn’t be surprised if they upset ND.
I'm getting the same vibe.
Probably one of the more significant implications of meniscus repair is that the surgery is essentially "shaving" the cartilage and removing torn material and free floating debris. As my ortho explained it to me is you have x amount of cartilage and after the surgery you have somewhat less that most probably lead to future issues. The goal is take away as little material as possible.
Younger athletes often have menisci repaired rather than snipped out. This is for two reasons. First, their healing processes are much better than those of older folks. Healing of a meniscus is still slow, but it happens. Also, the tear is often abrupt, so it can be stitched back together. When I've had surgeries, they've been due to cumulative damage, so there are frayed edges, tears that have worn, etc.
