Lou out of the AAC tournament

[TheFarmFan]

This sucks to hear, but UConn will be fine now, she may very well be back for the tournament, and many years top teams lose top players and go on to win it all. Remember how everyone last year thought the Domers were toast when Turner and Thompson went out for the season? Somebody forgot to tell the rest of their team that - they won it all. And so too may it be for the Huskies. Calm down and let Geno do what he has done for years - coach his players up to the occasion.

Everyone is picking on me which is fine I’m a big boy can take anything that comes my way.. people get defensive when they can’t handle the truth and accept the truth. Denial doesn’t get u anywhere. I’m speaking the truth and seem to be the only one who has the guts to speak it.

You must be a blast at cocktail parties.

What truth do you have that proves she won’t play in the tournament?? You have zero proof, you’re just bringing negativity.

Man, the doomsday cultists should hire you to do recruiting pitches!

Have u seen our bench? Reserves? There lucky to put 10 points on the board in a quarter. Let’s be real.. losing Katie Lou senior all American second leading scorer come on people.. we barely got by a depleted South Florida team ...

Geno can’t even seal the deal on recruits!!! Let’s see how many top recruits he picks up on 2020....

What is it the kids say, "work through adversity"? Real life happens. The kids will do their best and overcome or not. Either result won't demishing the joy we derive from watching the kids growing up and doing their best to execute the game as taught by Geno & staff.

Also keep in mind that was on a two day turnaround from when she was injured. I bet ONO and Coombs have been working with the other starting four a lot more in practice this week to make sure that things are less disjointed than they were against USF.

Doesn’t matter [to me] [I'm worried that] her season and career sadly is over. [I'm guessing that] No way she comes back in time for NCAA tourney full strength. Sadly [if my pessimistic guesses turn out to be true the] final four will not be happening this year [for UConn] and not to look ahead [but I will and I further pessimistically] think that next season will be one of uconns worse seasons in over 10 years. Sadly uconns dominance is no longer [as guaranteed as it used to be] here and sadly [the unparalleled dominance I was counting on] it’s coming to a end. [ I'll carry my pessimistic projecting] Further [and say that I think the incredible] Recruiting is coming to a end and the ride [of incomparable and likely never to be repeated dominance] is coming to a end.

I put you comment in a little more accurate context for you.

I think everyone here agrees Lou can’t be replaced, even by committee but let’s wait & see before we cancel our postseason plans. She’s played through a shredded ankle, I don’t see anything keeping her out her senior NCAA tournament.

And the end of the world is coming too. Stay tuned...the Boneyard will give you a 20 minutes warning!

No what you are speaking is your (pessimistic) opinion and phrasing it like it is truth. You want to be a gloom and doom pessimist go ahead but when you state an opinion state it as an opinion and not some unchangeable truth.

We should win the AAC without Lou but more concerned if Lou is out for NCAA tourney or playing hurt ..... time will tell.....

 

[bbballfan23]

Sounds like Geno fully expects her to be ready for the NCAA tournament. Even sounds like she could have played this weekend but “it didn’t make sense”.

Another serious blow to the legacy of KLS. She was set to achieve something only 3 other Huskie women ever have and that was to be selected to the all-conference tournament team 4 times. Her career totals will take a hit also, especially the one she deserves the most and that is 3rd place in career pts. This is sadly approaching what happened to the end of Svetlana's great career. Fortunately, she still has chance to join very select company by making the WBCA all-American team for the 3rd time which only 4 other Huskie women have been so honored.

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

Seems like some have by passed the ledge and went ahead and jumped off the cliff. This is a wait and see scenario. And the quote from Geno is positive. Hang in there UCONN Fans!!

Sorry but my opinion of her game & her legacy wouldn’t have changed whether she got another all-tournament team or not. Another championship would obviously help but she has established herself as one of the all-time greats.

There goes any chance for a final four. Her season and career is sadly over. I said this last week back injuries take months to heal. Very sad!!!

Right or wrong that statement is really stupid. The same rush to judgement that we see daily in the media. Doncha' think we should wait and see how it plays out before declaring her career over?

Her injury did not look that serious but you never know with back injuries. I tend to want to believe UConn is just being careful. UConn should win the ACC Tournament even without
Lou and it makes sense to rest Lou’s back as long as feasible. Hopefully, therapy will help her be ready for NCAA tournament.

Andra Espinoza-Hunter didn't play much today. If only she had been patient. She'd be starting for UConn, which would have given the Huskies Christyn and Olivia off the bench.

I believe she would not have beat out CW for the starting spot, but she might have been the first guard off the bench.

But reading between the lines, refer to @BleedBlue72s posts

So happy for the Ignore options.
