Azzi in street clothes tonight

[UConnCat]

Aubrey starting.

 

[The deacon]

I’m going to have to start watching other sports where knees and ankles don’t matter. If there are any.

Poker.

 

[Shorty Dee]

Wow!! I am praying for a speedy recovery!! UConn can't catch a break!!!! We need the rest of the team to step up!! Every player that hit the court needs to defend, rebound and score!!!! 3 players can't do it!!!!

 

[JSB60]

Guessing KK starts. We have three kinds of,lineup, small, smaller, smallest.

 

[Urshurak]

I said it when she committed to UConn she was super fragile. Very unfortunate. Her knees just can’t hand for a whole
Season. Heck. Even two games…

I feel for her.

I have never seen anything like the injuries this team suffers year after year. Never.

 

[stamfordhusky]

I'm wondering who is going to start in her place, Aubrey or Qadence??? Let the debate (or new thread) begin.

Aubrey

 

[NC28604]

Billiards?

 

[CardsWBBfan]

Sheesh. Hope it’s just a sprain or tweak of the knee. She ( and the team in general) need to catch a break.

 

[WBB_FAN_WA]

Dear Sports God & Goddess. PLEASE give UConn WB team a break especially Azzi & Paige, etc. We are So over it.

 

[Huskiefan78]

I can't help but think its an ACL. The kid is an all time shooter but those knees are her worst enemy.

 

[LarryLegend]

Unfortunately a lot of these kids have significant injury histories before they ever reach your program. In the US they are playing too much.

 

[kidfrom360]

When will we know? If it happened on Tuesday then they would have done an MRI that same day, right? She was standing, walking fine and smiling on the bench and I don’t think she would be doing all of that if it were a serious injury

 

[Hayven]

Geno said it was a non-contact injury. She went up for a shot and after she landed she said that felt funny. Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious

 

[Classof87]

Starting to think her knees are Namath-like... Hope it's nothing serious and only precautionary

 

[Classof87]

Darts?

 

[RowdyFan]

I’m going to have to start watching other sports where knees and ankles don’t matter. If there are any.

Thumb Wrestling.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Best wishes to Azzi!

 

[stamfordhusky]

I can't help but think its an ACL.

Why? With no information and a dozen different types of knee injuries that are possible, why do you think that?

 

[Boreifs]

I'm guessing Ice will start. Aubrey will be the 6th man.

Guess again

 

[Boreifs]

Aubrey

Of course. How could anyone have any other choice?!

 

[Big Fan]

Auriemma said Fudd was injured Tuesday toward the end of practice. She dribbled the ball, stopped and shot the ball and said to him, “That felt funny” and went to the training room. Auriemma said her knee was still swollen so an MRI would have to wait until the swelling goes down.

Because over the last two years we've become conditioned to brace for the worst? Still hoping for the best...

but it was not " funny" Smart girl to STOP right there!!

 

[LarryLegend]

If Azzi continues to not be available for significant stretches, then it doesn’t matter if she shoots 100%. Geno may have to ride these freshmen, looks like he may have something there.

 

[Gurleyman]

We went through it once before with Sales-Shea-Svet-Sue all going down in a span of a couple years. Then we basically had 20 straight years of healthy, including some years when we had pretty much no depth and an injury would have derailed championships.

Why we get this in bulk, I don’t know.
