The breeze comes in conference
14 turnovers. I have no idea who starts next game.
Troll alert!!!
My older son broke his toe in college, playing "hall ball"--barefoot soccer. He kicked a plaster wall. His younger brother broke his toe when he tripped on a concrete parking barrier while wearing flip flops. Doesn't everyone break his/her toe in college?
Have you actually watched any other teams? You don’t have a clue what you are talking about. This team has a lot going for them. They have 1 senior and 1 Junior and a lot of new faces to acclimate. To say they are not top ten is an utterly ridiculous statement. #1 Oregon struggled tonight at Syracuse who is without their best player. Baylor struggled at home earlier this week, Stanford was struggling tonight against Buffalo, Texas A&M struggled against Rice...and so it goes for the rest. Name the 10 you think are better? There is more parity as there are better women players and better coaching. Stop acting spoiled. Jeez. This team deserves more positive support.
I figured that Liv’s broken toe had nothing to do with basketball. She probably got it stubbing her toe while walking around her dorm room in her bare feet. That’s why I always where slippers around the house.
True, but most use fracture to refer to something that doesn’t require extensive medical care (think hairline fractures, stress fractures) and a break to refer to a bone that’s been completely broken or significantly fractured. Always good to specify the difference since a broken bone is a lot different than a hairline fracture!
True they are different, but more like Fuji apples to Granny Smith apples. An injury, in any capacity, especially in the foot, can easily get worse from repeated stresses. She still has to walk around campus, practice, workout, and then play in games. All of that is done on her feet and could make things worse or slow down the healing process. No need to play through an injury if it’s not necessary.
You mean like every big in the nation? She needs to play through it. Sometimes refs will call the foul, other times they won’t. I don’t think it’s right or fair, but until we get something better than human judgement calling the fouls, it will persist. Watch how people played against Kalani Brown and Teaira McCowan a year ago. They took a beating every night and didn’t get the justice they deserved from the refs. The bigger the player, the more physical the refs seem to allow. Again, I don’t agree with it, but she’ll have to play through it like every other player has.
We had Boston on layaway but was delivered to the wrong address.
Here’s the scoop southofnorth. A stress fracture (sometimes referred to as a hairline fracture) is a specific type of fracture. Otherwise, as others have stated a fracture and a break are the same. You might tell your friends you have a broken wrist but your official report is going to state there is a fracture of the radius (or one of the other bones of the wrist). Let’s just say it’s time to give this a break
And Cal actually beat a ranked Arkansas team so maybe they aren't that bad....Have you actually watched any other teams? You don’t have a clue what you are talking about.

I beg to differ. This WAS this Uconn team with it's warts showing. Will that be the Uconn team at the End of January 2020? You better believe it won't be --head or tails will roll. However, this team in the first BIG game for the new guys fought through adversity and hot shooting to win. It took a terrific effort by 7 or 8 kids but they got the job done. There was never a time or moment that Uconn seemed like they could lose. It was close and Uconn was behind but not in the 4th quarter where it counts.
Well, Anna made a couple of good defensive plays. Thought Heno gave up on her and team suffered as a result.
We don't know what else was going on.. she is known to get pretty nervous so maybe she was not in the right frame of mind and he needed to send a message to his freshman.
She stated that she had never played in front of the size of the crowds UConn plays in front of. When I heard that there were seven thousand fans there, I thought that she would be nervous and maybe struggle and she did. I also knew that if UConn struggled the doomsayers would be out again, after such positive comments after the Virginia game. However, if they had hit just half of their layups, they would have scored at least eighty points and won going away. Someone asked who said anything about the team averaging twenty points a quarter, well I did. I always look to see if they will score at least twenty points in a quarter which some former teams usually did with ease. If UConn averages at least twenty points a quarter they will average at least eighty points a game and they rarely lose when they score eighty or more points. Also, the someone said the defense was bad. Geno did not think so. They allowed thirty one points in each half and that is not bad, especially on their home court. This game should prepare them for Tennessee because this team had more length as will Tennessee. If UConn loses to UT, the Boneyard will never be the same. Explode is not a strong enough word.
Like I’ve said PAC-12 top to bottom is tough. This UConn team isn’t the best but are definitely top ten and maybe down the road...plus maybe Lou and Pheesa were even better than we thought. They had four years to develop together. Lou was a coach on the floor. CD tries to be that but it is not in her.
