From the Outback to the Swamp

The first quarter seemed to be over.

A defender knocked the ball free from UF guard Kiara Smith’s hands as the clock wound down during the Florida women’s basketball game against Arkansas on Jan. 27.

Both teams began walking back to their respective benches, and coaches started planning for the second quarter. But Kristina Moore ignored them all.

The forward came out of nowhere looking to save the ball and the play. In her attempt, she landed awkwardly on her left arm. The crowd at the O’Connell Center went silent as Moore laid down on the ground for several minutes while two trainers tended to her.
