Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4234937, member: 1131"] For the Villanova game specifically, the FS1 sideline reporter said during the early part of the game that Paige had not participated in that day's shootaround because of knee soreness, although she had warmed up normally prior to the game. Geno had told the reporter that whether she would play at all against Villanova would be a game-time decision. So it is confirmed that the previous two games had indeed irritated her knee to the point where it was problematic for the Villanova game. That is consistent with Geno's statement about the physical limitations being real, but the big problem was Paige's mental unwillingness that she was not physically back to 100%. He said she could play at 85% (and still be effective) if she accepted that there would be some limitations on what she could do -- but she hasn't done that yet. [/QUOTE]
