Welp. Looks like Saylor might be needed immediately after all.

Poor Anna. I wonder what happened.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Groan! Best wishes to Anna and Paige!!

 

[HuskyNan]

Let’s see what Nika can do.

Now everyone can see why Geno recruits a deep bench

 

[GRIFFBIFF20]

Definitely will see Nika Muhl in the starting line up today (we will also see allot of Mir McLean over the next couple of games AND isn't Saylor Poffenbarger eligible to play in the Arkansas game?)

I think that's when Say becomes eligible, but I don't see her playing against a ranked team with no practices under her belt. But against the Big East teams the following week or two, maybe.

I am watching SNY and there is no sound. Is that happening to anyone else?

Same thing with me...no sound

 

[huskeynut]

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[eebmg]

My SNY sound is good

 

[JellyBean]

Dang! Get well, Anna.

 

[Carnac]

This will open up some minutes for others. I hope they take advantage of it.

 

[psconn]

Oh man, not good. HUGE opportunity for Nika especially and even Mir. I hope 1st time starter Nika can take a lesson from Momma E and play a tight controlled game. She has the skills.

 

[Bigboote]

I wonder if this has been a lingering injury that's just gotten worse?

 

[Ozimoto]

I suspect that may be the case. Could explain the shooting woes if she can't push off with her foot as she is used to.

Not here on Fox Sports all okay

 

[CocoHusky]

Most concerned about that indefinite part of that Anna news. Meg also said Anna looked fine at shoot around this morning.

 

[Charliebball]

sure could have used her against that zone today..........she was missed......

 

[chrissaran]

Anna could have a stress reaction in her right leg.

 

[DEpup]

Part of me hopes the leg has been bothering her for awhile and can explain her jump shooting problems. Possibly something that just wasn't getting better so maybe decided to just shut her down for awhile so it can heal. This is the positive part of having a bench.....

 

[RedStickHusky]

Big mea culpa to Anna. Her trying to play through an injury explains a lot (shooting and defense). We just never know, unless they tell us. Upside is minutes for Nika and Mir while she gets healthy.

That’s a definite possibility. They said it has been bothering her for a while, and not getting better.

I'd like to see more of Mir too. I'm not a tactician but it just seems like she brings instant energy and aggressiveness, usually right toward the basket.

I like that Mir comes in looking to score, it seems like she post up every time the team is on offense, but since she can only score down low, sometimes she gets in the way of other players, the lack of a true outside game is the main reason she doesn’t get a tone of minutes IMO.

I think she is combination of too small and too inexperienced. I think with her each year is important to see an evolution, - Anyhow- if UCONN is going to be efficient hitting outside shots then it's possible she'd get more minutes because of blowouts happening that much earlier.

But other than that- if they were hitting outside shots it would mean that some minutes would also be going to "small-ball" with a lineup of Paige, Evina, CWill and Anna. Add to this that Nika needs minutes so some minutes she would play and you still play small ball then add up Mir is 4th on the depth chart between Liv, Griffin and Edwards, --- so how is she going to get more minutes if they were to hit outside shots? You'd look to play the players that are hitting those shots.

That's true. Players don't just underperform for no reason. Many times it's due to an injury that isn't public because the player doesn't want to make excuses.

Anna could have a stress reaction in her right leg.

That sounds like the only thing that it could be. And my orthopedist told me that orthopedists actually don't use the term "stress fracture." To them, a bone fracture is either a "non-displaced fracture," or a "displaced fracture." So what's called a "stress fracture" is actually a bone fracture in which the bone is not displaced.

In other words, it's a bone fracture, and that's bad. Wish her all the best in her recovery. Her family back in Poland must be worried sick. Too bad.

Most stress reactions are NOT fractures. I doubt her injury is a fracture, but time will tell.
