Hi all,

The Connecticut Scoreboard Podcast is bringing back one of its favorite events- a night with the UConn WBB beat writers! We'll be diving into what has already been a very eventful year and look ahead to what the second half of the season holds. With no games on, join in on the fun and watch live on our YouTube channel below. If you subscribe you'll be notified when we go live. The event will also stream on The Connecticut Scoreboard Podcast Facebook and Twitter pages.

Feel free to submit any questions you have for the panel and I'll try to get to them. Thanks for the support!

Is there a loosening of game# requirements for the BE and NCAA tournaments since it may be difficulty or impossible to make up all the postponed games to date and in future?

Unless they have some covid updates on the team, or the condition of our injured players, there really isn't much to talk about since we haven't been playing.

Last year there was a 13 day break between the end of the BET and the 1st round of the NCAA's. That could be used to stretch the reg season.

Reminder to send in any last minute questions on the team that you might have. Will be live at 7!

What is the beat writers' take on the WNBA potential of our 3 seniors?

I want to know why Nika and Azzi were playing earlier in the season if they supposedly had lingering foot injuries that predated the start of the season.
That seems to indicate a communication problem between the players and the staff, or a trust issue.
Were the players concealing their pain or did the problems resurface after subsiding for a while?
Was injury the reason why Nika wasn't playing much?
Did Nika have a foot problem all summer and didn't tell anyone about it?
Why wasn't she in a boot earlier?

Is Azzi's foot problem related to USA basketball, or did it only become apparent afterward?
Was it bothering her before she started practicing or playing in games for UConn?

It seems odd that they didn't begin getting the boot treatment until after the UConn season started and had already began playing NCAA.
Has the team done anything to improve communication about injuries to the staff?

Some of these same questions can be asked about Aubrey's condition.
How & when did her injury occur or crop up, was it on or off the court, or during practice or in the weight room?
Is therapy helping her situation at all?
