Given the problems stemming from the game, it almost feels like a loss. Almost.
 
When Gabby had the previous hip injury did she come back from the locker and sit on the bench?
I am guessing limited or no time tomorrow and more time on Tuesday. Then about 10 days off until a home game that I would rest her as it would be against the 64th rank team and why have her play

If anyone knows about Gabbys injury please post. She was clearly very upset I hope it isn’t something that’s going to keep her from playing
 
Well, I’m worried about both Gabby and Crystal, but I think Crystal may have just needed a new tape job on her ankle. Gabby didn’t look great sitting on the bench, looked very sad. I’m hoping she’ll be ok, even if that means sitting out the next two games to have almost two full weeks off.
 
We will struggle to replace what Gabby brings to the game, but even if it is a struggle, UConn should be able to prevail in the AAC
tournament. It’s the bracket after that I am concerned about...

Relax everybody! The problem is this league, period! That aspect is kind of depressing. UConn totally does as well with it as you can in this situation. Tribute to everyone that they are still able to maintain their intensity in these games. No jinx intended, but these 3 games don't mean anything. Like was said, 10 days off after Tuesday night.
Would be so much more fun if UConn was in a tough league.

To the benches: Don't just pass the ball you can do better than that.

I was waiting for Chris Dailey on the radio but she didn't come out to do it. The times when we need to hear from her the most are the times she doesn't do the post game. I'm sure it's because they are dealing with things in the locker room that she doesn't take time for the radio wrap up.
 
Gabby was also in tears when she was back on the bench. So sad to see. Praying her career is not done. Hopefully just a tweak that rest will take care of. I'm sure Geno will tell us more in the post game presser.

1st half: A-
2nd half: D+

I mean let's be honest. Tulane is 14-17. Not a good team but they have 1 great player and a couple pretty good players. And if there was any rust to be had, it would have been in the first half. So no rust.

Hard to explain the 2nd half. Yes Tulane played better. Credit to them. But against a pretty bad team like that, we don't judge how well we play based on what a team like that "forced us into". This was not Texas or some other top 10 team. Aside from Z, I'm not sure anyone on the bench did a single good thing except take up space and be a body on the floor.

Am I concerned? No. it's pretty clear that we go 6 deep. On a good day, Megan can give us something, but I don't know if she's going to give us any useful minutes in a meaningful game the rest of this season, and that's a sad statement to make about the #1 recruit coming in. It's possible she's had the worst season (barring injuries) of any top 5 HS kid in the history of UCONN's program.
 
It's March. As I posted in the chat, it is time for someone other than the top 7 to become a scoring threat. We just need 1 to seize the opportunity.
