MUST READ :This article quoting AD Dave Benedict answers a lot of questions

So you can’t feel sympathy for student athletes, some of whom are still teenagers, just because they are lucky enough to play at UConn? Injuries are bad for everyone. Exhaustion is real. Pressure is real. They are allowed to talk about it. Just saying “suck it up” is a bad mentality to have.

We have a lot of people that are degenerate gamblers here in Vegas, to them it's all about the money. They are always looking for an edge to win and believe that all information should be public so they have that edge. I don't at all agree with it, they don't have a right to all info.

I didn't know this. Now I have more respect and love for this young lady.

"She has a hereditary condition that has left her legally blind in her right eye.
“I have no peripheral vision in my right eye,” Patterson said on Wednesday. “I don’t see much over there. It’s been like that since birth. My dad had it. He played basketball for years including professionally for a couple of years. He’s talked to me about the different struggles that he had as a basketball player and how he could help me grow as a basketball player with this disability. I’ve just adjusted over time and grown from it."

When I joined the BY I was assured there would be no math, but I'd always thought reading was a requirement.

From my experience on here, I don't believe reading OR comprehension are a requirement to post.

"With two more players (Aaliyah Edwards and Ayanna Patterson) sustaining injuries in Thursday’s game at Xavier, UConn was down to six available scholarship players, one below the Big East Conference minimum."

Seems unlikely. Last year when the South Carolina game was postponed there was no forfeit. For conference games, the Big East rules apply.

UConn only played Butler once last year.
It was postponed by UConn due to covid and then cancelled by Butler due to a weather related travel problem.
