Watching the replay of Louisville game - 4th qtr approx 4:35 mark Tara sends Cameron to scorers table, who literally hobbles over. Ashten hits a 3, Tara talks to Kate - next available view of sideline shows Lacie at scorer's table and Cameron on stationary bike. Am suprised that Tara considered putting Cameron in that point
After her injury midway or 2/3 through the 1st quarter she didn't have the same spring in her step. She wasn't able to run down the court like we're used to seeing and she didn't have as many jump block attempts (though maybe that saved her from picking up fouls...just staying on her feet and upright). Probably didn't help that she had a sub at the table from like 3-4 minutes remaining in the 1st but there was no chance to get her out until under 2 minutes (if i recall correctly, there was an earlier stoppage of play, but she went to the line...and missed)
I am a perpetual worrywart and this doesn't help my outlook, doggone it. Sending healing vibes to Cameron! We need Belibi and Prechtel to step up, again. Well, we will need their contributions regardless. Boston and Amihere together will be tough. I expect to see a lot of help D from our guards.
(My favorite play from the Mizzou State game was when their massive #50, who couldn't jump to save her life, finally got a rebound and Anna stripped the ball from her as she was bringing it down.)
