Forward Marlon Shelton was screaming, too, but for a different rea- son. n Mar. 8, 2001, the basketball fans in Bank of America With just 14 minutes and 37 seconds remaining in the game, Shelton Arena screamed support for the Huskies, who were brought down a rebound on the Husky baseline and immediately col- battling USC in the second-to-last game of the sea- lapsed, grasping his left knee. The excruciating pain in the knee was evi- dent in Shelton’s scream, and the fear in his eyes. “I have never seen a guy fall as badly as that in my entire college career,” said then-UW head coach Bob Bender after the game. An MRI the following day confirmed the worst — Shelton had torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee, bringing to an end a season in which the Rochester, Mich., native had led the Huskies with 37 blocks, and clouding the future of a career that once seemed so promising. While the injury was painful, the rehabilitation was even tougher. After undergoing surgery in April to repair the ligament, Shelton had to re-teach his knee how to run, cut, and jump.
