It's only not good if she is not 100% by the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

 

[speedoo]

grrr.. Fingers crossed she is better soon.

I know what you mean, but I'm sure she (and the team) would like to exact revenge against the Irish this weekend if at all possible.....would be tough without her

 

[hoopsdiva]

Merde. Double merde.

 

[ThisJustIn]

there's that "longevity jinx" ahappennin'

That being said, if anyone can take a week of and come back full speed, it's Kelly.

 

[msf22b]

The bright side is that she needs the rest.
Might be just what the doctor ordered.

Kelly Faris came down awkwardly defending the final shot of the first half in Monday's loss to Notre Dame but was able to return to court

I remember that play and was worried that she was injured. Was relieved when she came out for the 2nd half.

I also recall that the only reason ND had the ball was because someone on UConn screwed up on the previous play when we were trying to get the last shot of the half. It just further reinforces Geno's demands of perfection on every play. Had player X (I forget who) not messed up -> ND doesnt have the ball for that final play -> Faris doesnt get injured.

Here's hoping the available rest before any tough opponents is sufficient. If not, here's hoping for as speedy a recovery as otherwise possible. Meanwhile, it's a good thing we all value Caroline Doty, right sports fans?

Yes, I do, too. it was right at the half. She was limping immediately and then jogged off the warrior that she is.

They will have to amputate her foot to keep her out of the tournament.

Pretty much - at least for the final

 

[MilfordHusky]

Get well, Kelly! We'll need you on Tuesday, maybe even Monday.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Kelly has said she is playing in the Big East tournament. Shouldn't need her in the 1st game. I would rest her for that game and only play her if it was needed.

Kelly has the heart...but will she have the "sole" to give it a go if needed on Monday? I hope so!

 

[UConnChapette]

Has Kelly had so much as a blister in four years? Why did this have to happen now? ARGH!

3rd round starts in Bpt on March 30 for UConn. About 26 days of healing.

#UConn senior guard Kelly Faris just laughed when it was suggested she was iffy for Sunday's Big East quarterfinal

Jim Fuller is making that up. Everyone knows Kelly "stone face" Faris doesn't smile, let alone laugh!

Seriously, this is why I love Kelly. Unless Rosie and the team doc locks her into a locker in the locker room - or flat out says she can't play - I have no doubt we will see her on the court.

Kelly Faris says there is "no way" she will not play in the #BigEast tournment. #UConnwomen. "What would be the point of that?" she says

 

[sarals24]

My hero.

 

[baylorprof]

As a competitor"s fan of Farris, why play her in the conference tourney at all--even against ND in the finals. every article I can find says the top four seeds are SET, and even if (heaven rain down hell) you guys were to go out quickly this week due to her being hampered, you're not going to lose that seed.

And further, you're NOT going to be pitted against ND in the semis in New Orleans. That, too, is SET. Chalk says you two don't play until the finals if you should meet in the big tourney.

Save Kelly Farris for Round of 32 or even sweet 16. You're bench thin already; guard thin already. Nothing you can do between now and the regionals will derail your seed. Give some of your other bench a chance to work on some kinks; they're adequate all the way through regional round. Give the girl the rest she has earned over 4 years. Bring her off the bench ONLY if an upset is brewing by halftime of any NCAA game prior to sweetness.

I'm sure that makes absolutely NO SENSE in Geno's "driven" world. Just from a far deep southwest fan who wants your BEST in New Orleans and a completely healthy Farris is essential for us to get your best. She is NOT essential to get you guys another weekend or two toward April.

None of my business. Shut me up. But I would feel the same way about Griner or Sims.
