Baylor Guard Recovers from Eye Injury

"When Baylor's Melissa Jones dived for a loose basketball on Feb. 27, it did not seem risky for a hard-nosed guard who played football in junior high, had gone skydiving and once acted on a dare by drinking a cup of hot sauce," starts the NYTimes.com story. "This time, though, Jones collided with a player from Oklahoma, who landed on her. Jones's head slammed to the court just above her right eyebrow. She got to her feet quickly, but her vision in her right eye began to grow dim, as if the lights were being turned down. … On March 14, Jones began to see color and shapes with her right eye, though her vision remains extremely blurry."
