This shows the contact at then very end. Does not appear to to be SMU players fault. A common body foul leads to a little awkward landing, but, honestly, if you watch the film it is surprising that such and injury was the outcome. Prayers that it is not a major as it might seem.

ACL, MCL, LCL all those are typically low contact to non contact injuries. This is why I speculated in another thread that's likely what happened. Could be wrong. But it screams ACL tear

Guy behind me kept yelling at the ref, declaring the injury was on him. We can now safely conclude via video it was a common call and the ref made the call.

I think she hurt her knee on the previous play at the other end of the court.

Agree. The injury happened on the play before at the other end of the court when drove to the basket and was fouled.

Doesn't really matter how it happened. It looks like an ACL tear by her reaction.

Video does show previous play if u watch it entirely.

Thank you! I guess that is better than we all feared!

Wonder what happened to that post. Hmmm? Interesting.

What a dumb ass, blaming a ref,i is never the refs fault someone gets injured.

I wouldn't say never. If they allow things to get overly physical and don't blow the whistle, then someone gets hurt after things continue to escalate, that is on the refs. That isn't what happened to Blackwell though.

Yes. I was there and sitting on the side of the court where the foul happened. She stumbled a bit and grabbed her leg before running to the other side of the court to defend. I worry that she exacerbated what may have ending up being a minor injury by trying to play through the pain.
