Oooof! I guess Nika has been visiting.

I know an injury is never good, but she seems to have hit the freshman wall big time. Maybe some time on the bench with a different perspective will help when she comes back (hopefully when, and not "if")...

Or maybe she seemed to hit the freshman wall because she was dealing with the onset of an injury? Let's just hope she gets a bit of rest and comes back soon and at the top of her game.

short bench for South Carolina can't help......

do we know anything??? Ankle sprain, a week, broken bone in foot, 4 weeks? When did it happen?

Well he's gonna play a short bench against S. Carolina no matter how many are available.

He'll have 8 . Probably wouldn't go much deeper than 8 anyway.

Chen/Fudd/Bueckers/Strong/El Alfy with Shade/Arnold/Griffin. It would be nice if Samuels and Ziebell saw some mop up time, but I wouldn't expect it.

A high ankle sprain can be 4–6 weeks. Hopefully not that. and a broken bone in foot might only be four weeks, but could easily be 4+ months as well.

true but I think Brady would have gotten some minutes against a physical and aggressive South Carolina front court........not sure if Morgan would have gotten minutes.....

Looking at the 4th quarter last night they need a short bench. Injuries happen especially ankles so she will take it easy until she can go. She isn't a key cog in the wheel right now so it won't impact the game with SC at all. They do need Aubrey to play and play good in prime time not mop up.

Idk. Cheli may be UConn's most physical player (along with KK).
