So I guess it wasn’t all that minor for AE?

 

[TeamFirst!]

Probably covid related also. Lou was obviously sick and Geno has been sick. Aubrey was sick.

 

[Inthepaint]

This is ridiculous.
Inevitable, but ridiculous

 

[huskeynut]

There are no words for this run of injuries.

 

[DefenseBB]

This is ridiculous.
Inevitable, but ridiculous

What’s ridiculous?

 

[Geew1992]

So yanna was also injured!! I think I have some eligibility

 

[DrummerDee]

What happened to Ayanna?

 

[GoUconn7961]

Incredible. Has this happened before at any other school?

Something is wrong. I don’t know what, but something is wrong. Yes I know ND had their season of four players out due to ACL injuries. But this constant rotating lineup of injuries the past two years is just extremely unusual and my gut reaction is that something just isn’t right, somewhere, somehow.

What happened to Ayanna?

Related to her broken glasses, maybe?

 

[HuskyNan]

Related to her broken glasses, maybe?

Probably not

I will start a new Prognosticator's Predictions thread when the game is rescheduled. Due to the fact that when the game is rescheduled the players will most likely be the original starting five of Dorka, AE, Azzi, Lou and Nika. @HuskyNan can you lock the current thread for me, thanks in advance. The next thread will be posted once it is known if the game against St. John's is a go.

There are no words for this run of injuries.

To quote Jennifer Lawrence: ‘a bad word, that starts with ’F’, that I can’t say’.

The Boneyard is strong. We will get through this. Avengers Boneyard, Assemble!

This makes no sense. No one could foresee Paige's tearing her ACL in a pick-up game, Azzi getting her knee hyper-extended from an Aaliyah in-game bump, Ice's dislocated patella, Caroline's concussion, or anyone (latest, Aubrey) getting Covid. How do you figure? Other than Covid, how could anyone think UConn/practice/expectations had anything to do with these?

Four ACL injuries (as at ND) would be MUCH more concerning to me.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

This means Azzi wasn't going to return Sunday either. Maybe that warmup last week didn't mean quite as much as was presumed.

 

[Charliebball]

no coach and now not enough players.........what's next? I hear two of the trumpet players in the band are out with finger injuries........

 

[Urshurak]

So, who would be out Sunday? AE? Who else? Caroline maybe? Lou sick?

 

[Carnac]

The game will be rescheduled. This gives the entire roster more time to rest and heal.

Now their next game is Wednesday, Jan 11 @ St. Johns. 7:00 pm ET SNY. That's 5 days' rest. Hopefully, it will be enough.

 

[Geew1992]

Pretty sure she was on the floor at the end of the game

 

[HuskyNan]

She was clearly sick during the Xavier game. When she went to the bench the trainer handed her bunches of Kleenex. She’s been looking tired the last few games, too.
