No Blanca for Tenn

[Cuango]

Sure, I agree. I just think she may be a big factor against Tennessee!

According to Maggie Vanoni, Geno said that Blanca will not be available tomorrow and "still needs a few days".

So hopefully she will be back for the upcoming home games against Butler and Creighton.

She has been wearing a harness on her left shoulder for the entire season. Whatever is going on there will need to be addressed at the end of the season, hopefully just rest and rehab. (Napheesa had shoulder labrum surgery after her first year.)

I watched her tossing passes to teammates during the warmups before the Xavier game and she was only using her right hand/arm.

I believe collier s surgery was for hip labrum not shoulder after freshmen year

Tamika Williams and Tina Charles both came to UConn with shoulder issues that were attended to at the end of their freshman seasons

Big Time "Huge" Opportunity for Jana El Alfy to produce today vs. Tennessee

This team is talented enough and smart enough to deal with the Vols without Blanca.

First is our defense. Can the Vols withstand the onslaught on continual pressure? Though we are down one on the front line, our guards our will reak havoc led by KK and Azzi.

Our offense is going to be difficult for the Vols. Passing ability, continual movement and the ability of 4 or 5 players to score in double figures.

I hope people don't get on her if she does not shoot as well tomorrow.

I can guarantee she won’t shoot as well.

We definitely missed her speed and athleticism today although we recovered well . She may have had a bunch of turnovers though. Hopefully the shoulder thing resolves with some rest.

Her height and speed alone would have gotten a few turnovers a few easy bunnies and few more rebounds ..

Concerning issue. From personal experience, shoulders are tough to heal, particularly for a big who constantly is getting hammered (and doing alot of hammering on her own).

I'd keep Blanca out of the line up until she is as close to 100% as possible......I think the team can handle the remaining games without her risking further injury........
