We'll know A LOT more after Marquette battles against Gongaza ( Gonzaga: the victors over
Louisville). Louisville was out rebounded 50 to 31 by Gonzaga and Gonzaga had a advantage of
24 to 3 on second chance points. Hailey Van Lith was five for 20 from the field
Gonzaga out scored Louisville 18 to 6 in the overtime, winning " going away" by 12 points.
Why do you think this is a “problem”, and is there a rule where UCONN and/or any other school must immediately relay such information about the student athletes?UConn has a problem with being forthcoming about injuries. Remember how they continued to characterize the injury to Decharmes as a "head injury"? It was a concussion, but they didn't want to admit it. Lots of failing to admit regarding injuries.
I doubt they were. Who gave them that #3 preseason ranking?Marquette beat Texas today. Soundly. Maybe they were not as good as we thought?
Gonzaga won 79-67. That’s why I suggested in a previous post that if UConn wanted to make a west coast road trip to play two games, Geno might consider Gonzaga as one of them. Gonzaga will give UConn their money’s worth.Looks like Louisville is losing also. Vs Gonzaga.
Correction - Gonzaga won 68-61.Gonzaga won 79-67. That’s why I suggested in a previous post that if UConn wanted to make a west coast road trip to play two games, Geno might consider Gonzaga as one of them. Gonzaga will give UConn their money’s worth.
Geno will have to play musical chairs at the 5 until she does.The article indicated that she's going to miss 3 games, possibly a little more. She'll be back soon enough.
Broken finger-miss 3 games?Geno will have to play musical chairs at the 5 until she does.
You're officially on my you ain't no good list.Bettencourt is rested and ready. She plays bigger than 5-9.
...and how would it help the player?UConn has a problem? Yes, the team is dealing with multiple injuries.
Some fans have a problem. They believe, for reasons that defy logic and reason, that they have a legal and moral right to know
everything the coaches know just as soon as the coaches know it. They think that they should be part of the medical team and involved in family discussions about how to proceed.
Now, let's suppose these fans got their wishes, unlimited and immediate access to every detail of a player's medical issues.
Just how would this help the team?
A compound fracture, pins and 6-8 weeks, not including therapy. With a cast she can play.Broken finger-miss 3 games?
Try 3 weeks.
Unless it’s a fracture.
But still.
Yeah. I believe she’s back when I see her on the floor. Predictions are nice but sometimes nobody tells the injury when it is expected to be healed and ready to go. I hope it is only 3 games....NC St, Duke and Iowa/Oregon St. Fingers crossed. Prayers said.Broken finger-miss 3 games?
Try 3 weeks.
Unless it’s a fracture.
But still.
hey! do i recall correctly that u chopped and put up like 8 cords of firwood so far?UConn has a problem? Yes, the team is dealing with multiple injuries.

Three games equates to a week from now, right? Seems like a quick turnaround to me but I'm not a M.D. nor have I been to a Holiday Express in quite a long time.A simple fracture of the thumb and 3 games sounds about right. A compound fracture, pins and 3-6 weeks, not including therapy.
You're correct. I did modify my quote. I've had that break and without pins or without surgery she can play with a cast.Three games equates to a week from now, right? Seems like a quick turnaround to me but I'm not a M.D. nor have I been to a Holiday Express in quite a long time.
The coaching staff isn’t going to change what’s been working for 30 years for Amari. And what kind of message would that send to the players that have done what the staff expects of them?Amari is going to be fine. She needs the coaching staff to just trust her and let her play and stop over analyzing everything.
Right. She broke it November 14, the fourth game is December 2 against Providence. That’s 18 days, roughly 3 weeks. I’m not sure Geno will need Dorka much vs a guard oriented ProvidenceBroken finger-miss 3 games?
Try 3 weeks.

But still.
I noticed that too.Dorka shook her hand; it wasn't the one with tape on the wrist; I thought, "Oh no", but she kept playing through it. She'd already dove, full length for a ball, saving it from going out of bounds, maybe the defensive play of the game. Now this, on top of all the other injuries.
I guess it IS the time for Amari to stand up, now or in February, sooner or later, or not at all. Time will tell. We keep asking this team to suck it up, and they have. Go Huskies.
