What is with the injjury to AE?

[Forego]

What school has the moat around the court? Is that Vanderbilt? Seriously, the NCAA needs to set some standards on what is allowed around the courts. $$$$ doesn't come into play. I pretty sure the NCAA doesn't get any of the courtside seat revenue.

Vanderbilt’s court had a moat around it but I believe it is now gone.

If nothing else Geno can never say AE couldn’t guard a chair. She just has to learn how do it without fouling. Nachos? Be thankful that CD’s soft drink cup wasn’t under those chairs. They would still be pumping the arena down.

I think you're referring to Minnesota's arena, nicknamed the Barn (i think). It's the only one where the benches are lower than the court that I've seen.

Yeah, I was going to say something but I do not want to jinx anything. All I have to say is, being from Minnesota an attending many games at the Barn over many years, I am just thankful.

I hate to even think it but this may all be Geno's fault. He's been known to challenge players to guard chairs. Chair possessing nachos isn't all that different from player possessing ball. Aaliyah reads and reacts, closes on the target, and next thing you know, the trainer's giving Aaliyah a foot rub...and possibly a mani/pedi.

A tip of the hat and my apologies to Registered UConn. I missed your post my first time thru the thread and apparently we thought of the same thing.

Hinkle Arena at Butler has a raised court. I hate those. I’m surprised there aren’t a lot of injuries there

The floor in Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gymnasium was built higher than the seats along the side lines. There is a discussion in Wikipedia on the design and construction of the arena if anyone is interested.

The plus is that they don’t get slippery and wet from ice underneath.

I thought the moat was still there but the alligators had been removed.

when you play so many extra minutes, your body is less able to withstand the extra strains, so general fatigue shows up in unnecessary injuries. i may not be a doctor, but i stayed in a holiday inn express last night.

I'd suggest a Marriott next time

A lot of her shots are coming from outside. She is shooting a number of three-point shots.

And not shooting at a good percentage at all (22-97) for .227 percentage-brutal so I say, let keep taking them.

 

[Zarathustra]

i have to keep thinking that when you make starters play this many minutes, general fatigue leads to more injuries.

I think the critical event was crashing into those two chairs at courtside. We should have a NIL for
courtside ICE, and I don't mean "ICE" Brady, Uconn has used ICE ( H2O) now for Aaliyah and Caroline. !!

Wow, I thought she was playing more than 35. Or is that number skewed by the Princeton game when she got injured and left the game early?

Without the Princeton game included, her average is 35.54 min/game.

Didn't Geno say something like that about Napheesa? Maybe it was "she still can't guard anybody." I remember her rolling her eyes when he said it. LOL
