Olivia's Nose?

Any word on Olivia's nose?

 

[FairView]

Done some sniffing around and I can't find anything.

 

[pinotbear]

Didn't Geno say after the game that it wasn't broken, was just bruised?

He said that in a non committal fashion. I suspect if it was later found to be broken or in general serious, we would have heard about it by now.

I'll bet she has been trying on masks.

Not to be nosy ... or overly critical of the self proclaimed #1 source of info.
But... Photo supplied with info should have Olivia in it, just say'n.

On a semi related issue for Haley Jones and Stanford not saying anything, I would assume Haley Jones attends games to support the team, and it should be pretty obvious if she was wearing a cast on her leg.

She's been on the sidelines, most recently on Friday and was moving without a visible brace and seemed in good spirits. We should see her tonight on the bench as well and maybe the announcers will tell us something...doubt it, but maybe

No (broken) nose is good news....

Liv should watch some Sue Bird Mask videos for some inspiration.

Why wear a protective mask if your nose isn't broken?

Protective measure. That nose area is most likely very sore.

Maybe it has been weakened and they are afraid if she gets hit in that spot again it will result in a fracture so why take a chance?

Against UCF I think it might be a good idea for all the Huskies to wear protective gear! Lots of it. (If we happen to see them in the tourney, that is.)

I don't see a downside to Olivia wearing a mask, other than some initial awkwardness and discomfort. From where she normally shoots the ball, any vision impairment will have a minor effect.

The upside is a mask may turn Olivia into a terror inside.

Olivia has never shown any shyness toward contact, quite the contrary, but I noticed Tina Charles seemed like a different player after she started wearing a mask in the WNBA - she went from being aggressive to super aggressive.

Olivia has learned some new moves in the past few months which, coupled with the invulnerability a mask provides could be enough to send her to the next level.

Sore but not broken: Olivia Nelson-Ododa plans to wear a protective mask after getting hit in the nose by UCF’s Masseny Kaba during Saturday’s win.

Assistant coach Shea Ralph credited the sophomore for toughing it out at practice.

“She’s handled it great,” Ralph said Monday. “Liv’s matured a lot over the last several months. That knock to the face, she’s out here today like nothing happened. A lot of people, that would’ve put them down for a couple days. I’m impressed.”

It is a fine one. You could see after the game that she was feeling pretty good. So I would be shocked if it were broken, and she has to either miss games or wear one of those hideous masks.

wear one of those hideous masks.

If you look at previous posts in this thread (one with a tweet from UCTV Sports), she was wearing one of those hideous masks at practice on Monday...

Thanks Sluconn!

Maybe. But I didn't have to see it, did I?
