AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas point guard Rori Harmon knew it was bad when her knee crumpled during a December pregame practice while doing a basketball move she'd done probably thousands of times.

“Nobody even touched me,” Harmon said. “But I knew ... .”

She was right. The leader of a Longhorns team that started the season as a favorite to reach the Final Four was done for the season with a torn ligament.

But after the initial tears from Harmon, her teammates and coach Vic Schaefer, she did not slink into the shadows of a long recovery.
