Good News: No Surgery for Lauren Cox

[msf22b]

Bone bruise and Sprain

 

[Biff]

Wow. That sounds like incredibly good news.

 

[Ozimoto]

I am glad to hear this. Could have been so much worse.

 

[ucbart]

I am elated for her. This could've been a devastating injury on her pro career, IMO.

 

[terif831]

YAY!!!!

 

[HopJim]

One of the few non-UConn players I go out of my way to watch. A sprain is often a tricky issue in that the ligaments get stretched. Similar to Lou's ankle, the pain often carries on for years and eventually requires surgery. No medical background here so just wishing her the best.

Wow that is awesome. Thrilled that it isn't a dreaded ACL. Hope she's 100% soon.

This is a note from a Baylor fan...we appreciate all the kind words y'all have expressed, and appreciated the UConn fans rooting for us! When Geno comes to Waco, he gets a standing ovation, as does the team. He and Kim are friends and speak highly of each other. We did the same for Pat Summit...only Geno and Pat get that kind of treatment here. Geno was asked about it, and he said, "Well, it is a Christian school, and they walk the walk!" He also said he was not treated this nice on the East Coast! He is well liked, as are the Huskies.

 

[Lawrence]

I'm glad to hear this.

 

[the Q]

I have no idea how she didn’t. It looked really bad.

But great news for her and Baylor.

 

[BigBird]

I have no idea how she didn’t. It looked really bad. But great news for her and Baylor.

Yes. And thankfully, yes. Her rehab is more likely to be measured in weeks, not months. Happy for Cox, as she seems to be a fine person and a good athlete.

 

[HGN]

Great news for Lauren , Baylor , and WCBB. It was a very unfortunate occurrence. And Baylor still went on to win the game. You always hate to see any player injured. Whether it's a Uconn player or not.

I am happy it didn't require surgery.

 

[psconn]

Wow. Happy day for the Cox family and Baylor U.

 

[mrmojack]

That is good news, the best to her in her recovery.

 

[Shenandoah]

I am elated for her. This could've been a devastating injury on her pro career, IMO.

Or her senior season

 

[BleedBlue72]

I’m so happy it was heart wrenching seeing her in pain on the floor. I love her game and she is one of the players I wish would have come to UCONN. Such a wonderful person and can tell her family is wonderful as well. Im so happy she will be fine for her senior season!!!

 

[lanieer]

Great news!

 

[GoDawgs4]

Glad to hear this news. For Baylor to have won that game after her injury says a lot. That was a gritty effort by that group of ladies.
Heck of a good game by both teams. I enjoyed watching it. Too bad for us State fans that Ogunbawale waited a year to miss a shot.
Congratulations to Baylor on the win.

 

[Dokey]

Good news

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Wish that young lady all the best, and a speedy recovery. Basketball is a game, and everyone cheers on the success and excellence of these young ladies, regardless of where they play. So happy for her parents, who must be tremendously relieved!

 

[OldAlum]

Great to avoid surgery and long rehab! I remember when we were hoping Cox would choose UConn. I thought it would have been an interesting challenge for Geno. With her diabetes, he couldnt do the "I'll tell you when you are tired!" kind of conditioning, and I would have been interested to see how that played out.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Good news, indeed! Best wishes with the rehab!

 

[bbsamjj]

She is truly a terrific talent.

 

[Gus Mahler]

I'll always respect her for what she is able do while dealing with Type I diabetes.

 

[JellyBean]

That is great news for Lauren, Baylor WBB fans, and WBB fans in general.
