Lou out of the AAC tournament

[UCBaller2012]

Samuelson to Miss Conference Tournament - University of Connecticut Athletics

 

[Plebe]

Oh boy, here we go. This will be an adventure.

 

[Topsail]

This is not the news we want to hear.....others need to step it up

 

[OldAlum]

What a shame for Lou. Hope she will be okay for the NCAAs.
At least the subs will get a lot of time...

 

[huskeynut]

Not much can be said. Olivia and Mikayla have to step it up. So does Kyla.

 

[DefenseBB]

Ok all you "I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night" seers, when I said it was not wise for her to take a bus to the airport, fly for 2+ hours, take more buses, sleep in a hotel, sit on a small crappy chair watching a game, I was told to relax. KLS would have been better to stay home and not put added stress on her muscles. Don't give me the BS that "she needed to be there to support her team when they have more games to be played. This news is very disheartening.

Sorry for her. I still remember the look on her face when she sat on the bench while Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson destroyed Syracuse. I hope that she heals fast and gets in the game for the NCAA's.

And you know that this aggravated her condition how?

 

[huskeynut]

I see the Boneyard is about to go off the rails!!! And it only took about 20 minutes.

 

[SLY63]

The bench will be tested

They looked it up on WebMD

Wishing Lou a recovery in time for NCAAT, and the team to rally around her and win this weekend!!!

Aaaaaaah. This sucks. But this could be a very good confidence boost for players who have to play bigger roles to be successful in the NCAA tournament.

Poor Lou, she certainly has been bitten by the injury bug during her career.

Bitten by the injury bug at some very inopportune times for her and the team.

I think that Lou was more likely to further her injury by slipping on a patch of ice walking from their apartment at Hilltop down to the practice facility than by going on that trip.

#1 seed in jeopardy, even with an AACT win

UConn will need to win convincingly or have solid evidence that KLS will be back for tourney

Relax & enjoy the next three games.

Hopefully this is more precautionary than anything else, although it doesn’t look good.

The NCAA tournament tips 2 weeks from today. Another week of rest should help her recovery.

 

[HopJim]

More worried about her conditioning than back.

Is there really that big of a difference between a 1 seed and a 2 seed?

Are you one of the doctors or medical professionals on the UConn staff? They approved the travel, so I think YOU need to take it down a notch. Most people didn't assume anything, they just went with what the team said that she was well enough to travel and might be able to play. Now the staff has decided that it is best that she sit. We don't know what happened since coming back to Storrs, but Geno said the other day that it's day to day and the only ones that say she sits, without Lou's input, or plays with Lou's input is the medical staff.

Yep...you wear a different color uniform when you play the #1 seed in the regional final....

 

[bbballfan23]

The opening round games will be 3 weeks removed from her injury & the Sweet 16/Elite 8 will be 4 weeks removed. I have faith she will be playing by then.

As long as we stay in Albany. I guess that is assured if Lou can play in the NCAA Tournament.

 

[FanHam]

1. This sucks
2. Their chances of winning are excellent, even without her
3. This sucks
