Jacki Gemelos injured in USC's loss to TAMU

No words can fully express my sadness and hurt at this:

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Southern California coach Michael Cooper cried during his postgame news conference — an injury to a star player caused the tears, rather than a tough defeat.

Senior guard Jacki Gemelos might be done for the season after hurting her left knee late in the first half of Sunday’s 71-70 loss to No. 10 Texas A&M. Sydney Carter hit a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left to lift the Aggies.

Gemelos, who entered the game averaging 11.6 points and a team-high 8 rebounds, was injured as she drove the lane 3:37 before the break. She writhed on the floor beneath the basket and sobbed in the hushed arena.

ugh, i hate to hear this. she is such a talented player but i hope she gives her knees a break. no player wants to hear that but eventually you need to do what's best for your future.

This is so sad to hear. For her to have all that talent and not be able to play must be hard to deal with. I wish her the best.

OMG... This poor kid. What a great kid with a great attitude. I hope her injury is not serious. Fight on, Jacki, fight on....

Looked at Jacki's twitter, apparently she's out "8-12 months, depending." :( Is that dreaded three-letter word most likely the case? Hope hope hope not.

We need to wait for USC to make an announcement.
