Alaina Coates is out for the entire NCAA Tournament. That could certainly hurt their chances of a Final Four - even though they played well without her. Should be interesting. That's a big bummer.

What happened?
Wilson has to play smart and stay out of foul trouble. I will say this, I don't think u beat Uconn slowing game and playing half court. They are not as deep as normal so maybe playing up tempo changes game.Kind of hard to believe an ankle injury would keep someone out of playing in the NCAA tourney.....sounds fishy. Has anyone said that there is structural damage?
agree. AND she wasn't at the celebration last night.Kind of hard to believe an ankle injury would keep someone out of playing in the NCAA tourney.....sounds fishy. Has anyone said that there is structural damage?

no. she wasn't there. And I thought there were some different dynamics at the SEC tourney.Agree. There must be some type of ligament damage or something. Her pro career is more important and there is no need to cause more damage to the ankle, but something doesn't seem right. I didn't see her at the viewing party while watching it. Was she there? I easily could have missed her...
Is this the start of the typical FGF CONSPIRACY THEORY???agree. AND she wasn't at the celebration last night.
Only among the uninformed...These same posters know very well a high sprain costs Donnell Stanley the whole football season..The high ankle sprain is worse than a break..They just don't heal unless you give it complete rest for a monthIs this the start of the typical FGF CONSPIRACY THEORY???

Which is why I think there may be some ligament damage. They haven't played in two weeks. Surely she wouldn't play this weekend. Then we go to Stockton the next week. That would be 4 weeks off. The finals would even be a week after that if we made it that far. To rule her completely out makes me think she has had some type of surgery. Could be wrong, but it seems more than just the ankle...
I'll "make book" that this is an ignorant post. Bet you thought we had no chance to win the SEC tournament without her too huh?No final four. Make book on it.
A high ankle sprain is ligament damage
Ok, Im not a trainer, thanks for the info. Question... Being the competitor that we know any college athlete is, especially Alaina, wouldn't you think she would say after 3-4 weeks " Im a senior, this is my last go at a NC, wrap this thing up tight and I am going for it?" or could it be so severe that it would possibly jeopardize her pro career? OR what type of damage would need to be done to have surgery?
Just curious
Probably wasn't going to be any in any case.No final four. Make book on it.
Always a weak link somewhere. At least we now have our excuse built in.Coates out for entire NCAA Tourney

agree and why would you announce it to give other team a chance to prepare differenlty.Which is why I think there may be some ligament damage. They haven't played in two weeks.

SMOOCH!Always a weak link somewhere. At least we now have our excuse built in.
I didn't like Her going back in there against Kentucky. I knew the wildcats defense was gonna close up the middle, and that wasn't good for Alania. Already being injured,"that was a bad decision to put her back in there!A high ankle sprain is worse than a break...Playing her vs UK was a disaster...It takes at least 4 weeks for a high ankle sprain to heal...Donnell Stanley lost the whole football season to one...They never announced it...But i suspected the dreaded high sprain after she reinjured it the week after Missouri...My guess is dawn gave her a shot because she is a senior...But had she been shut completely down after the Mizzou game, maybe we would have her at full strength for the regionals and the FF
This doesn't mean we can't win it all...It means our interior defense is compromised...A'ja will have to let a lot of blocks go to stay out of foul trouble...It's a good thing KiKi Harrigan has been playing so well...She will have to man the post when Wilson needs a blow

Did we our first CWS without JBJ????
Nah, actually he helped win it for us. He was the CWS MVP and had the big tying run against Oklahoma in 2010. He played but wasn't as much of a factor in 2011 coming back from the wrist injury.Did we our first CWS without JBJ????
