Mississippi State sophomore center Quanirah Montague left with an apparent left leg injury in the second quarter of Saturday's NCAA tournament first round game against Cal.
Montague went up for a layup attempt at the 7:35 mark of the second quarter and hit her leg against a defender for the Golden Bears. She remained on the ground for several minutes before being helped off the court by a trainer, putting little pressure on her left leg.
Montague was the No. 9 Bulldogs' leading scorer with four points off the bench at the time of the injury with Mississippi State leading 16-8.
The winner of Saturday's game will take on No. 1 USC (29-3) on Monday at the Galen Center. The Trojans defeated No. 16 UNC Greensboro, 71-25, at home on Saturday in the first round of the tournament.
