Paige Buckets hurt
Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2021 10:43 pmHated to see that at the end of the game today for UConn. Afraid that it's going to be the dreaded ACL.

Posted: Mon Dec 06, 2021 4:23 pmYou can tell womens basketball hasn't quite arrived yet. If this were mens basketball, Geno would be getting absolutely plastered for having her in the game with an 18 point lead with less than a minute to go in the game.

UConn women's basketball star Paige Bueckers suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee on Monday and will miss the 2022-23 season, the school announced Wednesday.
Bueckers injured her knee in a pickup basketball game, according to the school's release, and an MRI later that evening confirmed the ACL tear. The release did not say where the junior guard from Hopkins, Minnesota, was playing when the injury occurred. It was the same knee she injured last year, causing her to miss significant time.
