She's not practicing today.

I had a similar, mild, concussion playing pickup bball in college: Blow to the side of the head (temple), neck muscles also involved (quite sore the next day or two). I'm told I was scatterbrained for about 20 mins. After that, I was woozy but coherent for the rest of the evening.

I sure didn't feel like playing sports for a few days! It was probably a week or so before I felt like playing in another pickup game, which is a much less intense affair than an official varsity game at the college level.

I'm betting she will be up to snuff for the Maryland game. I'd be happy to see her sit this next one out.

Yep, no biggie for tomorrow. Let her get ready for the Twerps.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

We will be fine!!!

More minutes for the freshman!

 

[msf22b]

My thought as well, so will he start 3 vet guards + Stew and Steff or give Tuck or Stokes a start.
Should be some competitive practices.
Anyway we'll see a lot of the Freosh and sophs (remaining)
I know: who starts isn't that important, yadda, yadda).

Doesn't it seem like....oh my god, down to 9 all-stars. What a I going to do?

Only 20 minutes?

Only 20 minutes?

I agree it would explain some things.

I'm guessing that Bria will take KML's spot in the starting five on Wednesday. It will be interesting to see who starts against Maryland. Such a wealth of options, so many deserving players.

We are one lucky group of fans.

Only 20 minutes?

Remember on the Boneyard 20 minutes is a permanent condition.

 

[VAMike23]

Only 20 minutes?

I was wondering who would jump on that one....!

 

[tomcat]

Best she sit out. Absolutely no reason to rush her back.

Any other season losing a starter we would all be concerned. This season we dont have to much to worry about except injuries. If a player gets in foul trouble we have the players to come in and not miss a beat. One other point we have 6 star players that are frosh and sophs. Just think what we have to look forward to. This is really unbelievable

 

[alexrgct]

Selfishly, I hope she plays against Maryland and Penn State because I will be at those games. But no, she absolutely should not play against Colgate.

 

[Wonkster]

Remember, on the Boneyard 20 minutes is a permanent condition.

I always wondered if UconnHenry's pocket watch was broken.

 

[UConnCat]

According to Geno (per Jim Fuller tweet), KML will not play against Colgate tomorrow night.

I expect the horde will have access to Geno and the team later today so we'll likely hear more about her condition.

 

[UConnCat]

More info from Geno in Rich's blog (http://blog.ctnews.com/elliott/):

• KML's said her head hurt yesterday, though she didn't take a direct blow to the head;
• KML wouldn't play tomorrow if the opponent were a ranked team; the team will err on the side of caution and KML will play when she passes the relevant tests;
• Bria will start in KML's place;
• KML has been the team's best player over the first 5 games.

 

[RadyLady]

She will be missed, but keeping her out to heal has my vote.

 

[HGN]

Better safe than sorry..........Why potentially make things worse when you can give her the night off and have her ready for the next game.

Let her sit this one out.

 

[Phil]

Puts off the question - who starts when BH, CD, BS, KML, KF, and SD are all available - off until at least MD.
