Lou out of the AAC tournament

[PAHuskeyFan]

This begs the question of whether the "back spasms" they claimed was the injury is actually more serious. Is she out for the AAC tourney? Or for the remainder of the season? The press release doesn't include any mention of when she is expected to return.

The real answer is "no one knows for sure"... but this was posted earlier: "Geno stated in the Courant article that he is expecting, or at least hoping, that Lou will be 100% with the extra rest. There is about two weeks until the NCAAs and realistically, three weeks (March 29) until having to face a difficult opponent. "

Clearly there are different "opinions" on what that all means...but NOTHING is Certain... but rather speculation. I trust Geno's expectations are based on medical advice and counsel. Believe what you want. many have said on this site...and I still believe in the line "In Geno We Trust".

GO HUSKIES!!!

Lou has absorbed a lot of punishment this year being the focus of every defense. The rest during the AAC tourney is just what she needs to let her whole body recover for the NCAAs.

Olivia will get the most important minutes of her career so far. She needs to stay in the games, which means moving her feet and keeping vertical. And, she needs to score which means keeping the ball high and moving that way. If the discipline is there for the AAC, we have a great shot at the big games...

Honestly back spasms alone are enough to keep a player on the sidelines, the pain is excruciating & the spasms interfere with just about every kind of movement, I never realized how much the back is involved in moving your body until I had back spasms myself.. I pray that is all that is wrong with her, with rest & treatment she should be fine. As for her missing the AAC tournament, it isn't like her absence is going to mean UConn has no chance of winning it. They'll have to work harder & the bench players will have to step up that's all. I'd rather see KLS out now than in the NCAAs.

Watching South Florida - Houston on ESPN3. Shot of the team waiting in the stands. Lou among them, probably aggravating her back injury.

I know your tongue was firmly planted in your cheek on that comment, so I wanted to add that Lou looked comfortable, smiling with her teammates. I suspect if UConn was playing in the FF today, Lou would be on the court.
