Texas Rori Harmon out with leg injury

[MSGRET]

So we're almost at full strength .

I believe that Caroline being able to play today makes UConn full strength for this season, unless there is a player besides Paige or Ice not available.

Caroline is available.

So happy for Caroline!

I don't mind taking the heat for my +33 point prediction. That's based on Rory not playing. If she plays, I'll agree with the rest of you that a mere double figure MOV would be more likely.

As for the Vic fans (I'm one of those) who think his teams can muck up any offense, yes that's a possibility. Sort of like what UCF did last year. But I don't think they'll be in full "muck mode" this early in the season. Without Rory, they're starting only Holle, Moore and Gaston from last season, and only Moore and Gaston started for them last season. By contrast, we're starting 4 players who started often last season, and our 5th seems to have integrated herself into our system pretty effectively so far.

That's kind of a running gag at this point. I'm not calling them "full strength" when they have a npoy on the bench in street clothes.

Remember the Arkansas game last year? Paige didn't score in the 1st quarter as she tried to get everyone else involved. It worked for awhile and we took an early lead. But Arkansas started to make a comeback. In the final 3 quarters, Paige set her career high for scoring.

Does anybody seriously think 1) this Texas team is better than that Arkansas team? or 2) that Azzi and Lou aren't each capable of doing something similar? I'd include Caroline in question #2, but it's just her first game back.

Well all I know is that Azzi, Lou, and Caroline are 3 definite scoring threats. Paige was one person, relying on her to do all the scoring for that team was just never going to work in the long run and it showed after she went down.
