Notre Dame's Olivia Miles goes down with bad knee injury in game vs. Louisville

Hate to see any player get seriously injured. It's part of the game but no doubt the hardest part to swallow. Hoping Miles makes a full recovery and can play like herself again, no matter the timeline.

Hoping that the recovery phase is on the short(er) end (knock on wood) for that would mean the injury is not the dreaded three-letter acronym.

Was very glad her mom and dad traveled to Louisville from western NJ to see her and offer much needed support and comfort when she first came out with the team in the 2nd half. By the 4th quarter she was in active cheerleader/asst. coach mode!

I've moved on to bargaining in the stages of grief.

I'm just hoping it's not an ACL, which could potentially cost her all of next season. I can live with a season-ending injury if doesn't bleed over into next year.

At least ND has Hidalgo coming, which provides some insurance at point guard. But I want to see her with Miles not in place of.

We understand.
 
ACC Network showed her walking around on the sidelines during this rounds games (Thursday). She wasn't on crutches but was limping severely. They said it didn't look good. They also noted that there is NO "official" word yet.

it did not look like her knee was pointed in the right direction in that clip.

To state the obvious, the most important objective is to ensure Olivia's long-term health. If that means shutting her down for the rest of the year, so be it. I certainly hope that doesn't include surgery and rehab, but that remains to be seen. If it's something that can be addressed without surgery and she might -- emphasis on might -- be able to come back, it would sure has heck make sense to focus on the NCAA's. Having won the regular season ACC title, ND won't fall that much (depending on MIles' health).

I think Citron, aided big time by KK Bransford and forward Maddy Westbeld, did a fine job against Louisville. Still, that probably caught the Cardinals off-guard, too. I'm sure Wes Moore has planned for all scenarios against the Irish.
 
Not surprised. Reports out of SB said she was limping at the watch party Sunday night.
 
Like many of you, not surprised based on what I've seen since the injury and heard (still limping).
Don't know the extent of the injury, but hope it's not too bad and doesn't require extensive recuperation. I guess we'll have to wait and see on that front.

Best of luck to 'Liv and family. Will be hoping the best.
 
I'm still wondering if she'll be ok for next year. Hopefully it's not an ACL or anything that would require a similarly extended rehab.
 
Change of subject and I do not mean to sound insensitive or inappropriate, but if this was known before Selection Sunday, would ND's seeding have changed? I am guessing yes. Just like ours would have been changed if Azzi was not available.

And best wishes to her in her treatment and recovery.

Is the decision to undergo surgery a recent decision or was it known this is where things were headed? If it’s an ACL we know the answer.

"The current timetable for her return is that we hope that she will be back for the summer in order to participate for the workouts," Ivey said. (in this article attached). If the summer prognosis is accurate, meniscus? Or perhaps more will be found? Stay tuned.

BTW, Florida State announced that Taniya Latson and Sophomore guard O’Mariah Gordon will also be out for the remainder of the NCAA postseason due to injury, leaving FSU with eight healthy players against the Bulldogs.

I also hope she’s good for next season. The whole women’s basketball is diminished when one of the greats goes down.

As for the other question, yes, absolutely, their seed would have been lower, maybe a 10/11, since they have no real pg. Ivey seemed to have been playing a bit of 3-card monty with the committee on this one.
