Message: [QUOTE="FridaFriend, post: 4204524, member: 8582"] Comparing Paige's recovery to that of Kellie Jolly (Harper) during the 1996-97 Tennessee season: Kellie Jolly injured her knee in September, 1996, and had surgery on October 14. She played in her first game on January 12, 1997, and took over as PG on January 28. That was considered a rapid recovery at the time. Paige had surgery in mid December; so, if she followed a similar timeline, she would be ready at the start of the NCAA tournament. I just watched a replay of the 1986 NCAA tournament championship game between undefeated Texas against USC led by Cheryl Miller. Cheryl played in 32 of 37 games that year in spite of 4 different injuries: Concussion, sprained neck, four stitches over one eye, and a broken finger. She had a cast on her left hand during the NCAA tournament. They commented during the game about what a physical beating she had taken all year. [/QUOTE]
