I really like having us healthy. I particularly like having KML in the line-up. No one in the country can do what she does.

Kaleena should start. It's easier to start right after you've warmed up than to sit on the bench and come in. The same should hold true for the second half.

Personally, I'm trying to manage my expectations of both minutes and performance. 1) Long term health is WAY more important than this game and Geno had alluded to this and should be expected to limit minutes. 2) These guys have been away from actual game play for weeks... even if they were perfectly healthy the whole time, I think rust would be expected. Add to that any residual injury effects (KML mentioned some in one of her quotes) and you could definitely see a less than optimal performance.

That said, if either of these guys wants to blow me away with a huge performance, I'm good with that.

Kiah Strokes..."Ankle feels fine, I don't see any reason I shouldn't play against Duke." Joanne McCallie...Elizabeth Williams: "Oh, no!"

Is KML wearing any padding on her elbow? If not, I assume that means they are not concerned about additional impact on the elbow.

Rich Elliot:

Tuck and Mosqueda-Lewis will each play with a brace.


“There’s some (padding), but mainly there’s just a bar that goes right here (on inside of elbow) to make sure that I can’t ascend in. And then I can move it out,’’ Mosqueda-Lewis said.
