BLOOMINGTON — A torn ACL has cost Indiana sophomore guard Lindsay Enterline her basketball season before it even began.
Enterline, a former Heritage standout, injured her right knee during a workout this week.
“She was trying to make a scoop pass, her leg just buckled and it cost her her season,” coach Felisha Legette-Jack said.
Enterline averaged 1.5 points last season while shooting 40 percent from three-point range.
She totaled 22 rebounds, six steals and four blocked shots in 26 games for an IU team that went 21-11 and reached the quarterfinals of the WNIT.
“She's a kid who has been working her way back from injuries since the day she got here,” Legette-Jack said. “Her spirit has been 100 percent for us. She's such an enthusiast on the sidelines, but this took her back.
“It's terrible for her right now. How comes it happened, statistic-wise, is irrelevant to me. What is relevant is she's done.”
Practice officially begins for the women and the men Oct. 16, with Hoosier Hysteria. It starts with a women's volleyball match with Iowa. The women's basketball team takes the Assembly Hall court at 7:45 p.m. The men start at 8:30.
The men's team returns three starters and brings in a newcomer class ranked among the top 15 in the country as it tries to rebound from last year's school-worst 6-25 record.
“My wife has been telling me for about 60 straight days, ‘Don't try to get something out of it. Quit trying to run drills. Make it entertaining for the fans,'” coach Tom Crean said about Hoosier Hysteria. “So I'm trying to listen to her on that. But then on Saturday (Oct. 17) we'll be back with two-a-days before the football game (IU hosting Illinois for homecoming) that night. We'll have two-a-days again that Sunday. We're excited for it to be here.”
