Very true, but in our best case scenario for the end of the year, Paige and Ice will still be missing. Hopefully they will be the only ones out when the games matter most.Testing our emotions but good news is that its what happens at the end of the year that's most important to UConn.
Notr Dame's game with Lafayette was canceled/postponed due to health reasons. I wonder if this is an option for UConn?
I differ. Humans ARE fragile. Humans are tough. AT the SAME Time. I've seen indestructible friends survive the in-survivable.i know that i've already liked the 'stop the speculation' post, but,
cheeze and crackers already, lou has a tender wheel, and, unless they moved her to witness protection, it's still nika who took a couple of knocks to the noggin.
nika muhl. The Nika Muhl.
they're not china dolls, u know.
go ahead, i dares ya, call nika a 'china doll.' then run, fast,
before she clocks you.
5I think there is a minimum number of available players needed to hold a game. I tried to google this and couldn't find an answer. When you only have 6 or even 7 players available, the probability of additional injuries increases. Fouling can increase as the other team tries to take advantage of the low player count. Players can get tired if the other team speeds up the game. All this can lead to more injuries.
Is it? With the Covid rules it is 7, but I have no idea if those are still in effect.
Medical decisions are always left up to the medical staff. Playing decisions are left up to the coaches, after consultation with the medical staff, and to a lesser extent, the players.If Muhl can play, i.e., cleared by the medical people, she will play; if not, she won’t. I believe I am the one millionth poster to suggest leaving the medical decisions to the medical people. Uninformed speculation about injuries, etc. serves no purpose.
The entire game is posted and there is a thread posted with the YouTube link.can someone post the replay of the injury? I missed that part of the game last night.
they are not 'kids.' 'kids' are commonly defined as 'children.' they're not children.I differ. Humans ARE fragile. Humans are tough. AT the SAME Time. I've seen indestructible friends survive the in-survivable.
Then live with years of a damaged body.
I prefer to think of these young ladies, as YOUNG LADIES, college KIDS with lots of mental toughness.
Personally, Nika I doubt would be up set with Ccoatian Doll, China, Maybe.
This is a forum. Can you just ignore the post and not tell people what they should or should not be posting.Can we stop with the speculation please.
What's with "finally admitting"?? After Caroline took hits to the head against Creighton and missed several games starting with the Tennessee game, it was public knowledge that she had a concussion, or at least a significant head injury.
If you are arguing about the precision with which the details were reported, that really isn't a fan's business. The players are entitled to a degree of medical privacy. UConn attempts to let fans know what they know about the duration of a player's unavailability, as they just did with Azzi. And if Azzi turns out to need 8 or 10 weeks instead of the 3 to 6 weeks that UConn estimated, that does not prove that anyone was being deliberately misleading or deceptive.
There is no such thing as a fan's "right to know".
The question is why does this bother you so much? Is it because you must know the medical conditions of the players, or because you believe there is something nefarious going on and the University is trying to cover it up?UConn never came out and said she suffered a concussion. It was always a "head injury." Why did they refuse to admit it was a concussion? Given how much controversy there is over how universities treat athletes with concussions, shouldn't the university at least admit that a student-athlete is undergoing evaluation for concussion protocol? This isn't an issue of the public's right to know. Across the country, university teams regularly state whether a student-athlete has suffered a concussion, whether one is being evaluated for a concussion, at what stage of the concussion protocol they are, and when they're cleared.
The question is why UConn doesn't adhere to this common practice at virtually every other university?
