For her homecoming game last Sunday in Minnesota, Paige appeared oddly subdued to me. Given the confirmation of Azzi's news today, I think Paige, given her own injury history, might have anticipated the prognosis.
Over the last 3 seasons, all of the top 5 recruits (Buckers, Fudd, Ducharme, Brady) have been impacted and lost numerous time to injuries. I'm optimistic by nature, but there seems to be a pall overhanging the women's team.
Obviously, pulling and rooting for them, but one can't help to feel wistful thinking how enjoyable it would be to see both Paige & Azzi playing together, healthy and at the top of their games. Once the emotional sadness clears, I hope Azzi's recovery goes better than expected. She has her teammates, family & the UConn faithful in her corner to keep her going whenever it gets dark.
