Paige is practicing

[Centerstream]

Non player related question...why does the practice court still have the 2 3PT arcs? Isn't the line furthest from the basket the only one that matters? Or does some HS use the facility?

Now back to the Paige thread...

Maybe it's to provide the same visual that is on most of the courts they play. I see very few wcbb courts that have only one line.

A few years ago a TN player had a head injury or concussion in Nov or Dec. She did not play the rest of the year.
I’m getting worried about CD.

That was Holly

The Xavier game just got even easier.

To be honest, I was going to mention that but I would have the same question for any college campus court.
But regardless, WBB players have to be behind the line furthest from the basket.

Are these tweets a good indication that we’ll get some post practice media availability? It’s been a while since we checked in with Geno. Would be really happy to hear his thoughts on these injury developments and the recent stretch of games.

Paige, Liv, Aaliyah, Christyn & Azzi working together. I don’t want to get overly excited. It’s just practice.

You may not get excited over the ARROW--but do you like its direction??

 

[TCC Kid]

don't see her playing until the tournament if she does, there's only 10 days left in the season and then the big east tournament is that week. If she is fortunate maybe in the final of the big east.

If she isn't 120 percent ready, I can accept waiting until next year and I'm a hyper A!

 

[CB360]

Do I/We miss Paige out on the court? ABSOLUTELY! Do we want her to play, Of Course. BUT, I'd rather she take a few more weeks off or preferably NOT play at all so next year she'll be 100% next year. I'd hate to she her rush and re-injure herself.

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

Made my night!

Paige passes to CW, who immediately swishes the 3 pt shot. That's the Bueckers effect!

agreed 100%, already saw what happened when the team was healthy vs South Carolina. Why have her comeback at 50% and risk injury for a worse result? Again I use the example of Kevin Durant being rushed back for a game 5 in the Nba finals and having for him to miss a year and more because he was rushed. And those same doctors "cleared him."

Anything to Piath more time on the court.

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

Can you feel the "shock wave"... kind of like a low-level earthquake... working across NCAA WBB???

Just another part of the Movie Script about this season.

GO HUSKIES!!

For what it’s worth, Piath is on the court with the practice players, playing defense against the starters.

 

[Charliebball]

I can't see a reason for Bueckers to be playing in games until UConn's first game of the Big East Tournament at the earliest.......that should give her plenty of time to get back in business on the court......

I don’t believe for a minute that the tomahawks won’t come out at tourney time ala face block to Caroline or trip screens and very hard fouls underneath with “extreme prejudice” -above and beyond normal aggressive play.
That’s why 100% is REQUIRED.

 

[pvdoggy]

That's tooo much space!!!!!!

who made that pass to Paige for the 3?

The "team" wasn't healthy for the SCar game. Fudd played injured. Some here used that game to say she wasn't the player they were told she was. Most of them have revised their opinions since.

I never recovered more that 50% from my knee surgery so maybe Bueckers should just retire now and save us all from having to watch her career disappear?

History is filled with stories of players re-injuring themselves and stories of players who come back and thrive.

Well that is a kick in the groin for Xavier. Gotta wonder what blew up the relationship.

 

[AgStatesman]

I sincerely hope they have Paige's best interests at heart when she starts Friday night. I certainly would limit her time on the court. I'd like to see them set a number where they are committed to playing her under 35 minutes.

As Geno said after the last game, like with Azzi, when the players play is up to them (and presumably their doctor).

 

[hoopsfan22]

That is a pretty crazy brace she is wearing. She's like the bionic woman - part human part machine.

are you a division 1 player? No? ok then

 

[Carnac]

WOW! Step in the right direction.

Best news we’ve had in 2 months.!! I hope she returns by our penultimate game.

C;mon all you guys thinking these absurd thoughts--do you actually believe Geno and UConn team physicians are going to risk further injury to Paige because they prematurely returned here to the court? From what I've seen--as with Caroline--they have been nothing but overly precautionary.

 

[Carnac]

It’s a good possibility that she’ll play with some kind of brace the rest of the year. I’m excited!!! And I’m not easily excited.
