I agree....sort of. would it make a difference if they had another 10 or 15 points. Huskies seem to maintain their incredible intensity. I feel sorry for the RM coach, his last game. But he should be proud that his team is still hustling.

Well, that many more points I dunno. Our D would be suspect

Not to belittle your concern but I have yet to see an actual replay of the impact to agree or disagree about head injury. The replay they showed didn't include the point of impact . Obviously she went down hard but I couldn't see if the head took the brunt or the neck/ shoulder etc....

Doesn't matter. Just having the head move sharply, even if not directly impacted, can cause a concussion. She was not moving, then flopped to her other side. Had to be pulled up. She was holding her head. Stop the game, take her out, and have a doctor look at her!
 
RM has quite a few international players but they ain't seen nothing like what they are experiencing in little ole' Connecticut.

Agreed! They were there and they don't care!
 
what's the most points scored in the first half of a game?

At the risk of continuing this hypothetical discussion, I do (sort of) see your point. But maybe, as in football, that's got to be something that's discussed not at the coach's level but at the NCAA level. It has to be a referee's time-out and a referee's decision to order the player out of the game, just as in football, I guess.

The main point, though, is that there is absolutely no evidence or indication that the type of later life-threatening dementia that evolves in football players ever occurs in basketball players. THAT'S why concussion protocol was created for football.

5 mins left in the half and the foot is already off the pedal.
 
This is crazy. We were up 53-12 on Tulsa at halftime in January. This looks worse. I can't remember a first half drubbing this bad since we played the lowly Providence teams in the latter days of the Big East.

okay, as the half ends, in the very quick take we see that Lou is NOT losing consciousness on the fall. She immediately grabs her head and writhes in pain. She has never lost consciousness.

No, the protocol should be for any athlete in any sport. It used to be that they thought only boxers were subject to brain damage from blows to the head. Then discovered that football did the same. Any blow to the head is dangerous.

Just sayin'.. Not to belabor a point.

Games like this solidly a coach's trust or lack of trust in bench play and who is in and who is out of the rotation....

She shot .462 last season. Nice off-season improvement by the high jumper! She was at .771 coming into today.
