This is what depth is for

Is it close to mid season now?

5 games in ….not yet

..... hopefully you can better ride out injuries

Some years it's not needed so depth could seem unimportant
Then there's this year

A Nika-CW-EW-AE-Ono lineup is still pretty good, esp with Dorka and CD off the bench.

Just hoping that this isnt a repeat of 98-99, which was injury plagued* and the 2nd weakest team in the last 25 years.


* Bird ACL, Swin stress fracture, I think Shea broke her hand, Walters had various ailments IIRC, others

98-99 was rough but the next five years worked out ok

This board would not survive anything close to 98-99

We have 3 injured players and 3 that Geno will not play under any circumstances. How much depth does that really leave?

You only need 6 players anyway.

I think the actual number is 5, but I hear where you are coming from.

Depth is a funny and tenuous thing. Pre-season, the talking heads were raving about UConn's depth, blah blah blah. And yes, there are many teams out there that would love our depth. The reality is that expectations in regards to performance and execution may be higher here than at other schools, so depth may be more of an "on paper" thing, rather than the reality at UConn.

Uh oh.
We may be there.
