Bria Probable for Thursday[merged thread]

[Replicant]

I'm not as worried about the minutes she plays or her present fitness as any long term vulnerability to retweaking it.

Exactly. I remember your earlier post on the subject, and I was also one that thought it might take until the first of the year to safely work her back in. Playing defense will be the hard part, with side-to-side foot sliding and reactive change-of-directions.

The earliest reports seemed to suggest a Grade-2 tear. But apparently that was not the case and the staff knows best. Bria is a warrior and it's amazing how fast one can heal at 20 years old.

This is fantastic news and I can't wait to see her suited-up again.

Well, you know Geno is pretty new to this coaching thing, and hasn't had much experience dealing with players coming back from injury.

Exactly. Plus, we've helped in the past, and the UConn record is pretty good, so the obvious cause is the Boneyard help. Some people will mutter about correlation not being causation, but ignore them.

Per JA tweets, Bria will not start and Geno says he'll monitor her playing time because they'll be playing 3 games in 3 nights.

"But Geno says she will not start for#UConnwomen"

Does that mean that we get to argue about who gets replaced as a starter for another week or 2????
