No Caroline today (vs South Carolina), confirmed

[MSGRET]

I would like to see Caroline for a few minute in the Marquette game, then more minutes in the Georgetown game.

It’s not a great sign that she still needs them, but does anyone know if she is allowed to wear earplugs during a game? I wouldn’t think there is an issue, but the NCAA has some strange rules.

Just because she chooses to wear them doesn’t mean she needs them. Has anyone confirmed she needs them? Maybe she just prefers them when she’s on the bench?

She was always going to be in sweats for this game, i.e., not available.

Except she was dressed for the game in early warmups, then disappeared and came out in sweats. I sincerely hope that just meant that she was unavailable for the game. I don't want to read too much into these tea leaves. Hopefully she is getting closer to playing (and Azzi too).

In a prior post, Nan stated that the floor level of the XL center was really loud, so perhaps a precaution as Caroline is still healing.

So, I was able to read under her sweater that Jana's uniform number will be #24. I am not sure that has previously been announced, so this post may make news!

Yes, it was announced previously that Jana would wear #24.

Does anyone truly know if Caroline is taking part in a full practice? Would be highly unusual for Geno or any coach to play someone who had not had at least several days, if not a week, going full speed with full contact.

 

[Junkaroo Jam]

Who Cares. She will play when she plays. Not before she is medically ready. So you BY return to the planet.

Looked like she still wears ear plugs. Can't imagine that's a positive sign for her return.

If you were sitting next to Paige, you might choose to wear them too.

Geno played Patterson when she had maybe one day max of full practice.

I was thinking about this as well. Why risk a setback in a game that was going to be in a very loud environment?

every case is different...........she clearly has had far more serious symptoms than Patterson who may have had few if any symptoms at all...

That has nothing to do with the comment i was responding to which was about practice time not concussion recovery

Heather had the foresight to protect her baby from the ill effects of persistent loud noise with a pair of headphones. She knew it would be extremely loud at floor level.

I don’t remember seeing anything in boneyard about her new arrival, so congratulations Mommy. Does anyone know if the baby is a girl or a boy? If the baby is a girl Heather can expect Jeff Walz to show up at her front door. As I recall, Heather’s husband is 6’9”.

AE doesn't need the mask anymore, yet she will likely keep it on for the rest of the year.

carolina no.... caroline yes !

Any insider info on whether we will get some Caroline on the court tonight?

 

[Kat]

Everyone wishes that she was playing but I do hope that Caroline will not allow those expectations to influence her decision to play.

 

[Centerstream]

Any insider info on whether we will get some Caroline on the court tonight?

I am guessing that if there was any insider info before now, there would be at least one new thread on the topic. Probably won't know anything until the various UConn WBB tweeters start tweeting this evening. Just my guess.

 

[Charliebball]

Marquette is another heavy contact team.............my guess is the Georgetown game on Saturday........

Do you mean at least 4 or 5 threads? lol

 

[BRS24]

Well, twitter is limiting tweets for (waving hands around) everyone, tweetdeck is down, so who knows when we'll find out.

UConnWBB posted an Instagram that had her in the “limited contact” highlighter Jersey. So I don’t think so.

Yep no Caroline tonight against Marquette.

When she’s ready

She's suffering the effects of this concussion over a month after it happened. And how many weeks was she out last year?

Really hope that she doesn't suffer long-term effects. Take all the time she needs. Her health is more important than any basketball game.
