Whitney Hand Out For Season

Well the Sooner's doctor office just keeps getting fuller and fuller. I don't know if someone has a voo-doo doll of our Sooner players somewhere, but this is just getting ridiculous. I will defer to the official Soonersports.com for the recap on this injury:
The University of Oklahoma sophomore, who was the 2009 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, underwent an MRI Monday morning that revealed a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee.
"All of us are aching individually and collectively for Whitney right now because she loves to play basketball," OU head coach Sherri Coale said. "Although we lose her tangible presence on the floor we won't lose the intangible quality of her leadership. We would ask the Sooner nation to keep Whitney in their thoughts and prayers and to stand united alongside our team as we move forward in our season."
Hand's injury occurred near the end of the first half of OU's win over San Diego State on Friday, Nov. 27, at the U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam.
Oklahoma will pursue a medical hardship waiver to preserve Hand's eligibility.
This leaves the OU women's basketball team with just 9 players to work with for the remainder of the season.

CRAP
what the hell?
I’m not sure who made what deal with what devil, but really OU got the short end of the stick.

very disappointing
Really feel for Whitney and what she’s about to go through. The rehab is no joke especially for an athlete of her caliber. This team is about to have a serious gut check moment because losing her is going to hurt big time (duh). They now have a total of four reserves, two of which are true freshman and one of which is a former walk-on. It could be a very, very long season unfortunately. Let’s prove the doubters wrong ladies!!!
