Lou's injury

I meant what I said you know who you are. There are so many great posters on this board but there are also those who only support 1 player.
For some reason KLS has become one of those they want to take down and remember the take down of Crystal. I couldn't be happier for that kid.

Huh?
 
Lou was off to a fabulous start with her all-around game this season. I hope she is able to play as soon as possible. I don't know if Sunday is likely, but I sure hope she can play on Tuesday at UCLA, in front of family and friends (including my sister and me).

This reminds me of the other Mater Dei star who landed on her elbow early in her junior season and missed several games. I hope Lou comes back faster than Kaleena was able to.

Injuries, unfortunately, are part of the game. When I see Lou missing a game, Kia missing a few games, or Crystal in concussion protocol, it make me appreciate my favorite player even more. Maya Moore played in 154 games at UConn, missing none, starting most, and winning 150 of them. She's the Lou Gehrig/Cal Ripken of her sport.

I don't want this thread to wander too far off track, but I am 10000000000% sure there is not a single person on this board that wanted to see Samuelson or any other player get hurt!

You are about 100000000 short in your assessment. \
Some fans from other teams may want a Uconn kid sideline--not hurt--But most of the Regular posters are UConn WBB fans and only desire the best for each of OUR kids playing WBB and for the team. Only someone with perversion in their brains would want ANY kid from ANY team injured. When a kid from , you name the team, is sidelined with and ACL--almost in unison BY--er express great compassion and sorry, the school doesn't matter.

I am moderately surprised that we have not heard anything yet as an update...

I suspect we won't hear anything until game time (or shortly before) on Sunday. I have no doubt that Lou has been examined and received appropriate treatment/care this morning... but some Colleges/Teams are very reluctant to share player injury information. If they only knew how anxious we UCONN Fans are waiting to hear the prognosis. We'll know Sunday...
 
As all of us are, I hope the injury is minor and that Lou can return to the court soon. That said, it is vital that she doesn't rush it and come back too soon.

Shudder to even bring this up, but is it early enough in the season that she would qualify for a medical red shirt if the injury is truly serious?

sure hope that is the case!!! Some times no news is just no news... which I guess is better than the alternative of bad news.

I don't think we will have an update until game time tomorrow. No media was on campus today to get an update.

Lou tends to fall down more than most players after contact. Might be better off just staying tall and taking the hit. Love watching her play this year-hoping for the best.

Huh? Are you serious??? If you don’t have stats or evidence to back a statement, please don’t make a ridiculous comment. Head bang
 
I'm going to go to the XL early tomorrow so I can see if she's standing during the initial shoot-around.

But i think a big marker will be: will she travel with the team to California? If it's serious, she might be better off not going (cabin pressure, moving around, etc.) -- actually I have no idea what I'm talking about here: I'm making this up as I go along!

I think she makes the trip home injured or not.
 
Presumably, large numbers of friends and family will be coming to see her in the UCLA
game. It would be a shame if she can't play.

Love the Al Capp reference. Joe Btfsplk was the guy in Lil Abner who walked around with a rain cloud over his head.

Thank you for explaining that. I had no idea.

A midfoot sprain, also referred to as a Lisfranc injury can be mild to serious requiring anywhere from a few days to heel to several months, sometimes requiring surgery. Fingers crossed that Lou’s injury is on the mild end.

My daughter had a Lisfranc injury from basketball that required a plate and 6 screws be installed in her foot. Hopefully Lou’s injury is not that severe.

Stealing my material? If I can't make it up---lies always work wonders--. But how somehow ever: Your projection is as good as any. If the Team medico did as the By expected; she'd be on a stretcher inhaling POT (for medicinal purposes only, of course)

Not what any of us want to hear.... and unfortunately can't unread your post. Positive thoughts

Mikayla Cowling did a sort of falling tackle on UCONN Player Samuelson - causing ankle injury ! Not a quality play
Expand ...
I think the contact was completely unintentional. These things just happen in basketball.
