FIirst of all, lets get some facts straight. Amber's damage to her knee was not as severe as first reported. She did not have a complete tear of her ACL as was first reported. She is on schedule to return to action in a few weeks if there are no setbacks. I, too, hope she doesn't return too soon. Would not be worth risking her future this late in the season. However, if she is able to return early enough to get back in the flow with her team and get several games under her belt before tournament time, UC will be significantly better. They are already hands-down the best team in 14A and will only be better. Offensively, they will be 15-20 points better with her presence.
