Stanford's Yamasaki

[swok34]

One day after she scored 33 points in a rout of UCLA on Feb. 24, Lindsey Yamasaki was in the emergency room at Stanford Medical Center, about to undergo an appendectomy that would sideline her indefinitely.

A great season for Stanford and for its leading scorer suddenly was in jeopardy.

``I think I had about a minute pity party for myself, upset that I wasn't going to play in the Pac-10 tournament,'' Yamasaki said. ``But I've always known that I was going to be back for the tournament.''

She was right. Yamasaki, a 6-foot-1 senior, will be back on the Maples Pavilion floor Saturday night when Stanford plays Weber State in the first round of the NCAA tournament


What does everyone think?......Will she be up to par after being out for about 3 weeks? (not even sure it's been that long).

The procedure was a laprascopic appendectomy, which supposedly requires a couple of weeks to recover. I think is was done on 2/25 or 26. The article said that she lost 12 pounds, but the bootleg indicated that she has been participating in things such as a shoot-a-thon (huh?).

Versus Weber St., Stanford probably won't need her. How and how much she plays vs Colorado State in the second round will more revealing. If they get to the final eight game, 3/25, she should be nearly 100%.

BTW Swok, I don't think the Stanford fans on the boneyard will ever get over the Caulfield/King thing. Sakibomb is the most tempered on the bunch. Naismith, Prof, Dennis, and a couple of others are almost unbearable. And when I last checked the bootleg, there was even a post making a slight reference to the year ago incident.

I think you are right, Bark.........do those Stanford fans ever forget anything? And I did go 'round and 'round with them last year......I really am trying to stay out of the whole thing, it was last year and if Yamasaki's stamina doesn't hold out, they may not get out of California.....

I really, really dislike anyone saying things about a player...

[Bark]

Don't you know that Yamasaki's appendectomy was caused by a foul from Caulfield last year?

ps. Sorry, I get corny & silly waiting for games.

lol, bark........of course, everything that happens to Stanford is Laneisha's fault.

Susan King seems prone to ACL, she had torn the other knee in high school, and has since torn it again, this year, I think....
and Laneisha is responsible for ALL of them.

Maybe we oughta tell Laneisha to stop playing with those voodoo dolls, http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/smile.gif http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/smile.gif
