Is missing a road trip due to "mandatory academic obligation in Storrs” a common occurrence for the Huskies?

Did Paige and Azzi also stay in Storrs?

Thanks, I am a relative newcomer to Uconn basketball so I don’t know the name.

And Brianna Pulido missed a few trips her senior year because of academic obligations.

That one was voluntary though, and for a game in Tulsa. Can't imagine being down a whole bunch of players Geno turning down the option of having one more body available unless he was forced to.

Not in my experience. Once the UCONN WBB schedule is published the players have academic liaisons to coordinate with the departments so that "conflict" can be avoided. For example players take exams early if they are required to be on campus when an away game is scheduled. Arrangements can also be made for the players to take the exam remotely from the game locations.

Way back...I think Rita Williams had to stay in Storrs and missed a game due to academics.

BTW: any news on Aubrey's availability for UCLA?

God only knows that this team desperately needs Aubrey Griffin on the floor right now.

she needed to pass her point guard exam before being allowed back on the bench.....

 

[UCTitleTown]

Aren't there academic advisors to proctor players to take exams while on the road?+ My child plays another D1 sport and they cater the academic schedules to fit the players, not the other way around. They also require study halls and academic oversight when players need it (all freshmen get it). Once they show they are good academically, the mandatory study halls go away and eversight lessens.

Regarding my post on Rita: I believe [not 100% sure] that Geno wanted Rita to stay in Storrs at some point....missing a game or even an early season tourney.... due to some concerns about her academic performance and wanted her to focus on that without basketball concerns.

BTW: this would 'jibe' with the following: As I recall, Rita qualified academically for UConn after graduating from high school.
However she did not come that next year....instead she attended a local JC for one year....I think it was Mitchell JC .
She then transferred to UConn after that one year and spent the next 3 in Storrs...becoming a valuable part of very good teams. I think she won the BE tourney MVP one year.

I do recall that her year at the JC...only one year not the usual two...was due to Geno having some worries about her ability to maintain good grades at a college level...and he wanted her to have an additional year before entering UConn at a higher level of academics...basically to prove to him and to herself that she could perform well in a 4 year college.
That obviously was OK with Rita because that was exactly what she did. She was certainly talented enough hoop-wise to have other offers and could have entered college directly after high school...she WAS qualified via NC AA standards.
She took Geno's advice...took the harder road and she became a favorite of many UConn fans precisely because of her personal qualities exhibited here.
