Her limp as she made her way around the area near the University of Connecticut women's basketball team's locker room was noticeable. "Do you need surgery?" she was asked. "I don't know," Samuelson answered in a near whisper." But Lou played possum with the doctors. "We were never shy with the fact I might need surgery," Samuelson said Monday at UConn coach Geno Auriemma's Fore the Kids charity golf tournament at Hartford Golf Club. "We knew it might be a possibility. But I tried to tone it out as much as possibly I could. On doctor's visits, I wouldn't necessarily pay attention to what was wrong with me. I felt … Not being in the dark but believing my ankle was better than it was. It was more of a shock afterwards when I talked to the doctors and what they had to do and what had to be done to fix it." "I could feel myself feeling not as good as the season went on and at the end it was a struggle," Samuelson said. "Maybe I could have done more. Maybe I could have played better defense if I moved a little better. But instead of looking back at how I felt, I'm excited to look ahead and see what I can do for our team." "I already knew before this year how tough she was," her older sister, Los Angeles Sparks guard Karlie Samuelson, said. "But what people need to know is how resilient Lou is. She'll do anything for her team. She'll do anything to help her team win."
