Norman- Oklahoma women's basketball took a major hit Friday, when sophomore guard Whitney Hand tore her ACL during the team's victory over then 23rd ranked San Diego St. during the Virgin Island Tournament. Hand left the game with 1:42 left in the 1st half and did not return. An MRI on Monday confirmed the tear. Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said the university would pursue a medical hardship redshirt to maintain her 3 years of eligibility. Hand was the team's second leading scoring at 13.4 points per game and was averaging 4.4 rebounds. She will most likely be replaced in the starting line up by junior Carlee Roethlisberger.
