Anyone see what happened?

Anyone see what happened?

Informal reports say she was injured in practice. I have not read. a formal report yet. She was on the bench for last night’s game wearing a leg brace. At the half, she was seen limping.

So sorry to hear that I hope it’s not as serious as it sounds

She was injured her freshman season when UConn beat Texas.

 

[ISUnorth]

Boo this. Not a Texas fan at all but LOVE watching her play. She is the best player in the Big 12.

She was injured her freshman season when UConn beat Texas.

That was last year, her sophomore season, when she missed the UConn game due to injury.

 

[Bigboote]

Man, the bad news just keeps coming this season. Like ISU, I love watching her play. Except against UConn. (Just kidding.)

That was last year, her sophomore season, when she missed the UConn game due to injury.

Thank you. I was thinking she is now a sophomore.

 

[topogigio]

One of the best, if not best, point guards in the country. Hope she recovers soon. A pleasure to watch play!

 

[JellyBean]

Wow. I was watching that Texas/Jackson State game and I saw Rori and Taylor Jones sitting out and there was little talk of the injuries. Hopefully nothing too serious for both players. Like a few have stated, Rori is one of the nation's best point guards. I love how she plays all phases of the game, offense, defense, rebounding, & passing. She is fun to watch.

The injury was during practice? Hope she gets well soon

Vic said in the postgame that it was during the team shootaround the day of the game.

 

[HuskyNan]

Eerily similar to what happened to Azzi

 

[Hester42]

That’s really sad. Hope her recovery goes well. Big blow for Texas long term outlook this year. Harmon is a special player you can’t replace

 

[DeeHusky]

Oh wow. This was her breakout season. Prayers to her and her family.

 

[Plebe]

Just awful, awful news.

I first saw Rori play in 2020, shortly before the pandemic, in a high school playoff game. (An assistant coach named Shea Ralph also happened to be in the building to watch.) It was obvious then that Rori she was a baller and was ready for the next level.

I hope she makes a full recovery and goes on to have a great rest of her career.

And this factoid reminded me of how Paige and Azzi's shared time on court has been curtailed by injuries:

 

[Hayven]

Oh wow. That’s a shame, she’s a great player. I wish her the best in her recovery.

Absolutely gutted for Rori. One of my favorite non-UConn players to cheer for. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

 

[Martinj481]

Really stings for Texas! Might affect next year too she might not be ready till 2025! UConn fans can relate!

 

[Txhoopsalot]

Rori worked so hard for this season. She and Texas were getting the kind of notice needed to make Rori a legitimate candidate for national end of year awards. So disappointed for Rori.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

I hate that for her and Texas and the sport.

Texas may well have been a contender for it all and it will be hard for them now.

 

[MSSportsGuy]

Darn darn darn! I hate to hear this for Rori, Vic and the program.

This is happening way too much.

 

[militarydog]

Terrible news. Praying for a speedy and full recovery. Great player and kid.

 

[Bone Dog]

Very sad for her. I hope they give her top flight medical care and therapy. Paige made extensive use of gait analysis after her second injury, and it seems to have helped her. Rori should consider discussing this with Paige.
