Brooke Wilson knows what a broken bone sounds like. She has fractured her pinky, her back and her arm — twice.

So when she heard her leg snap in practice last Wednesday, she knew what the deal was.

“We all heard it crack,” she said. “I knew it was broken.”

Arizona’s star freshman fractured her right leg and will be sidelined six to eight weeks.

It was a freak injury. Wilson and other UA forwards were making uncontested runs when she somehow got her leg caught underneath her as she received a pass, then collapsed on top of it.
