Notre Dame-Baylor [game thread]

[CTyankee]

Score please?

83-68 nd

Is Achonwa a senior?

Yes

ND is the more complete team and in several respects Baylor failed to execute tonight. But I do wonder how much was induced by the distractions of poor ref'g - not the lay ups, no reason for that disaster. Also home game regionals totally bite it! May they never come again.

It's an ACL.

1) No contact
2) Knee buckles
3) Crumples to the ground
4) Knows immediately that something is very wrong

Sorry, I've just seen that script too many times.

Looked even worse than when Brianna Banks got injured ... there was no perceptible movement and she was injured. I don't wish this on anyone ...

33 FT's - Say what?

Wonder how much a hard fought physical game like this takes out of ND for their next game.

 

[Flyegirl]

Yes

Oh dear. Hate to see something bad like that happen especially to a senior.

 

[NutmegDog]

Officiating will be the headline of this game (and Natalie's knee, if the news is bad.) But, BU's inability to get close-in shots to go in, an absolute must on the ND home floor, is as much the story as anything.

Can you really just get up and walk off the court if it's an ACL? I mean she didn't pop up right away, but it didn't look that bad as she walked off without any help and without much of a limp. At first I thought she was gonna walk it off and stay in the game.

My daughter had a torn cal in high school. Same deal no contact just a twist and a very sharp pain. Actually talked her way back into a game for a few more minutes until she couldn't turn without pain. Walked off the court almost without a limp and emergency room doc diagnosed the torn acl.

Maybe it is just me... but Achonwa screaming at her team before going to the locker room.. shooting the word Shi*. That should have been a technical. That is unacceptable.

Wonder if it is an ACL....

LOL a technical for SH$T? There is a lot worse said on the court trust me.

It won't because they don't play until next week. Only if Achonwa is out.

 

[Tenspro2002]

She's wearing pants, certainly to hide an enormous knee brace. Looks stiff.

 

[Dove]

Ivey is sooooooooo kinda hot

 

[bruinbball]

Can we start the UConn game after Kim's press conference?

 

[HoopsFan21]

ND has a 'we are' chant? Thought that was a Penn State thing?

 

[BRS24]

I thought it was Marshall?

 

[sawxfan23]

Achonwa is fine

 

[RandomFan85]

Don't forget Jessica Moore went back into the game and played with a torn ACL... just because she walked off does not mean a thing.

Loree Moore at UT did the same thing.

 

[HoopsFan21]

I thought it was Marshall?

I dunno. I've only seen it during Penn State football games when you have 100,000+ doing it. Maybe lots of schools do the same thing.

 

[sarals24]

I don't think Achonwa would have come back out if she had a torn ACL.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Achonwa is fine

Based on what? The fact that she can walk? This isn't a broken leg. You can walk with a torn ACL. Don't let that deceive you.

 

[easttexastrash]

Notre Dame too good. I'll take off my Baylor glasses, now.

Achonwa WAS too much for Baylor but I think she is gone for the year. That sure looked like an ACL type if play.

 

[Blueballer]

I don't think Achonwa would have come back out if she had a torn ACL.

Just because she is walking on it means nothing. It could still be serious.

Never mind him, he had KML out for the year when she was diagnosed with mono.
