That's true but adapting to not having Jordan is going to be a more challenging transformation than coping with Rae's injury. Jordan is the Swiss army knife player who could move between point guard, shooting guard, hit the boards, defend the perimeter, and she handled full court the best of any our guards. Plus, she was also the player who most often created in the half court offense.

So, the PG role is now squarely on the shoulders of Walker and Miles. Rae can fill some of the gaps but not that one. Kaiya Wynn is going to have step up in way that surprises people as the perimeter defender and someone who helps break pressure. We have seen signs she can do the former but no so much the latter.

It will be interesting to see how it goes. I think the LVs will be able to find a new balance and might be able to still make the Sweet 16. But, having SC as their next game is pretty much the worst case scenario. LSU will be the better test of whether or not they can adapt to losing another major piece (this time their biggest one).

Make the Sweet 16 without the one dependable scorer we have? Maybe, if our first two opponents are somewhat mediocre--like us. Burrell is the only legit scorer we have left--and she has not shot well since she returned. This is a team that has some serious talent issues. We did well to overcome them in the first half of the season--but two big injuries and overall poor play over the last month has hobbled this team, I'm afraid.

People are always calling our players and talent level midmajor but with kellie making a sweet 16 with actual midmajor talent i wouldn't think that's a reach 😂

Notice the word "might" still make the sweet 16.... My entire post was laying out reasons why the loss of Jordan is going to be harder to compensate for than Rae. But Rae's shot is coming back (her first half against Alabama is encouraging). Key remains a premier shot blocker. Everything is contingent on players like Tess, Snoop, and Sara stepping up offensively. And a lot of teams make tournament runs with one star and role players. Sweet 16 would mean beating a pair of lower ranked teams. I think that objective remains within the realm of possibility.

Update:" Jordan has a fracture dislocation of her elbow. That injury can have a wide range of severity. Hoping it is on the less severe side:

I mean she must have responded or @someone because she addressed them and they took their post down👀

Haven't seen her say anything on her twitter in awhile but it was nice for Coach Yo to mention when Keyen and other players in her conference when they went out... True class act. 🗣🗣🗣

So, is it a broken bone and out for the year or a dislocation and out for a few weeks?

Smart money is on Jordan.

In her presser, Kellie said that there was an outside change Jordan could play in the NCAA tournament. That leads me to think it is more the latter (and that the fracture is not a complete break)
