Terri Mitchell had to leave tonight's game after being struck in the head by a loose ball. Hope she's ok. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/news/story?id=6013311&campaign=rss&source=ESPNUHeadlines (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/news/story?id=6013311&campaign=rss&source=ESPNUHeadlines)

Great contribution, Jimbo.
Let's see how many jokes we can post in 20 minutes.
"I'm not surprised, Terri isn't used to balls coming at her face."

Did you forget your teal?
-
The good news is MU beats #7 and previously unbeaten WVU by 15. Looks like we have a good team this year.
-
Are the women's team turning things around? Two wins in a row over ranked teams.

2-2 in conference and 14-3 overall. Minus the shalacking we took at the hands of ND and UConn they've done well this year. Only other loss came to Creighton and they're 3-0 on the MValley. besides beating WVU, they beat UW-GB (18/23) and Gtown (17/18). Beat WI too, they're 8-8 but 3-0 in conference. Hope they get some AP rankings love
Plus we landed 2 top centers for next year (including an ESPN top 100)

Playing better as a "team".

I would love to see some video of this. How fast was this ball going???

There was a Marquette internet broadcast of the game. Those broadcasts were supposed to be archived according to an MU release earlier this season. But i can't find a like for an archived broadcast and the link for the live broadcast for last night isn't working now.
The ball was moving at a pretty good rate of speed and the big issue was Terri had no time to react - it hit flush off her temple and it was fortunate that her assistants were able to catch her so she didn't hit her head on the floor.

Maybe Mitchell can show Buzz how to recruit a big man. She's succeeded in recruiting some big women.

I still really want to see this. I just cannot picture how fast that loose ball was going to cause dizzines. If it hit her square on the nose I could understand, and I do understand the affects of being hit on the temple and dizziness, but I just cannot envision how this went down.

I'd like to see it too, but I'm pretty sure the ladies aren't playing with nerf basketballs. They are pretty hard, properly inflated.

The play was close to the Marquette bench and Tatiyiana McMorris deflected the ball as she was trying for a steal and reports said Mitchell appeared to be looking away from the play at the time. It hit right off her head (I didn't see exactly where as I sit behind the MU bench and it happened so fast) and she had to be caught by her assistants so she didn't fall to the ground. I can see how it would cause dizziness since she was hit in the head and with how fast the ball was likely moving when it hit off her head. I wouldn't be surprised if she got a concussion from it but I have no idea if that happened. I haven't heard any update on her condition since Tuesday night but I'm sure she's fine - doesn't seem like this is anything that would linger for too long.

The tv news reported last night that she suffered a concussion...I think it was TMJ-4.

Someone get her on injured reserve ASAP.

I thought a basketball was too soft for the speed it is going to cause a concussion. Especially if it was deflected. That's one hell of a pass! I guess if it hits you in the temple though.....

Alot of times you can get a concussion if your head is jarred, effectively slamming your brain against your skull and bruising your brain. (I've had several.)

concussions, aka mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), are no joke.
"Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), a term synonymous with concussion, is an acute, complex pathophysiologic process that is induced via traumatic biomechanical forces.
mTBI resolves rapidly over days to weeks with no significant long-term sequelae. However, some patients who sustain mTBI experience postconcussive syndrome (PCS) for years after the original injury."
