When Harmon drove to the basket, Jana VG horse-collared Rori and pulled her toward the floor, resulting in what seemed like a badly twisted knee. JVG wasn’t viewed as acting dirty and wasn’t assessed a foul, but RH had to be assisted off the floor and seemed to be filled with physically and emotional pain. It’s still available for those of you that want to dispute Coach Vic's assessment that it was a "toe injury." She missed several games this year due to a toe injury, so maybe it is!)
thanks for posting. rori harmon is a great player. here is the video. certainly a common foul (in both senses of common) as jana grabs harmon's upper right arm. but it's a run-of-the-mill, reach-in foul, not violent or excessive. i don't see a horse-collar, which i understand to be the dangerous and prohibited pulling down the opponent by grabbing the jersey at the nape of the neck. also not clear whether harmon is injured by jana's reach-in or by falling on baylor's big #51 just afterwards.

It appears JVG reaching in and accidently locking with Harmon's right arm causes Harmon to fall forward and twist Harmon's torso to her right just after Harmon's right foot planted on the floor with her right leg extended. The torque on her knee caused the injury. Harmon grimaces well before she lands on Baylor's #51.
Really very unfortunate for Rori and her Texas teammates. How did the referees miss the grabbing foul?
