I have had bad knees since childhood sports including an ACL tear, and every once in awhile my knee will go wonky (great medical term, that!) for a few days as stuff shifts and scar tissue adjusts. Here is hoping that is what has happened to CD - the fact that the knee was reported as stable is very good news - if there were another ACL problem, the knee would definitely not be 'stable'. The fact that the brace came off for the second half also suggests that they were not concerned about the structural integrity of the joint.

4 games in 8 days, a plane flight, bus trip. Yea I would expect some swelling and the knee "not feeling quite right".

I'd expect some swelling and something not feeling quite right in all of them after that!

Wonder if they will hold her out against Syracuse to give it a rest? I almost hope they do.

Wasn't it at Syracuse when she had her last injury?

 

[Icebear]

Not the last injury but the last in season injury. The last injury was during the summer.

We have a certain Boneyarder who goes Wonky all the time.

Caroline's first ACL tear at UConn (second of three) was in a game at the XL against Syracuse. It think it was the game in which Maya put up 40 or close to it. Mel Thomas tore her acl in a game at Syracuse. All this is to say that I hope Caroline doesn't play on Wednesday.

Don't you mean is?

ACL injuries with all that traveling isn't the most fun in the world (Tore mine a couple years back during HS football).

I too would like to see Caroline rest because we need her experience down the stretch. Shes very good with the ball in her hands and that is very important in the big games coming up.

I am really happy seeing Kiah and BB getting more playtime. They are coming along game by game and KML is putting numbers on the stat sheet. We cant expect her to score 25 pts every game, at least not as a freshman. But she is a threat to score so defenses have to guard her . The most important thing KML is doing espeically when shes not shooting well is to continue to put numbers on the stat sheet.

Thanks! I was remembering the Mel Thomas one at the Carrier Dome.
