Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2789442, member: 5798"] Nneka Ogwumike missed her second game with "an undisclosed illness ", and Alana Beard is sidelined with a groin injury, listed as day to day. Anytime you take two starters out of your lineup, the overall effectiveness and chemistry of the starting unit will be diminished. The starting unit was out of sync just as UConn would have been had Kia and Gabby been out at the same time last year for 3-4 games. Stevens and Walker would have been their replacements. Kyla or Molly being the 6th man. I remember several starters rejoicing at KML's return to the lineup after being sidelined for 12 games with a shoulder injury. If you remember, Gabby and Brianna Banks were used as replacements during her absence. A couple of starters remarked that it was not the same without her. We all loved Gabby and Brianna, but we were all glad and excited when KML returned to the lineup. [/QUOTE]
