   Geno Auriemma said Tuesday that Gabby Williams will return to the starting lineup to replace @M_Tuck3 @UConnwbb

   The move on @M_Tuck3 is precautionary. @UConnwbb want to see how her right knee responds to rest

   UConn to shut down Morgan Tuck for at least two weeks because of her sore right knee @UConnWBB @M_Tuck3

Ouch

 

[Sluconn Husky]

That's cutting it awfully close to the South Carolina game. Wasn't a good sign that she barely played after the first quarter on Saturday.

 

[Roundball fan]

Hoping for the best but not good at all.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ouch, indeed! Get well, Morgan!!

 

[BigBird]

Are we doomed yet?

That had very little to do with her knee. She picked up two quick fouls about three seconds apart and sat for the rest of the first half. In the fourth quarter, Geno let the five bench players have the minutes.

Games in March and April matter more than a game on Feb 8.

Moriah a game-time decision tomorrow night. She fell and hit her knee and head (J Fuller).

Crap

The knee issues for #UConn's Morgan Tuck are same ones she's been dealing with, just a different approach to get her ready for March

"You always get annoyed because you always want to play but this is a good time to be out for two weeks so I am glad it is now and not later on in the season,' Tuck said after Tuesday's practice.

"I'll do cardio every day, either swimming or bike so it is not pounding and still be involved with the team,' Tuck said. "It is not a specific thing you can do, it is more of letting it calm down a little bit
It depends on how it feels. It is like anything, you have to talk to Rosie, if you are in pain, you go to her and talk about it."

Rest those that need it and release the twin bombers Stewie and KLS.

As El Indio said in the Leone classic "For a Few Dollars More" ...."Stay Calm"

Didn't he later die?

I don't give a damn about the regular season won-loss record. I don't give a damn if we lose to S.Carolina or Tulane or SMU or UCF. I don't give a damn if we don't win the AAC Tournament. All that matters is that our girls get healthy because we love them and genuinely care about them for the wonderful young women they are. Oh, and yes, in time to kick ass in Indianapolis.

[I look for Stewie to step up and drop in 30-35 ppg, now that it'll be needed.]

I think if you go back and look at most other UConn blowouts you'll find that Tuck played well over 14 minutes in them regardless of two fouls.

Get well & stay well Morgan!

Thank goodness it's just UCF tomorrow night!

 

[vtcwbuff]

I guess there is an upside to being in the AAC. The walking wounded can enjoy a little R&R while the rest of the team blows AAC opponents out of the arena.

HR: on a lighter note: Damn I love it when you talk dirty like that (those tiny little letters you used). Plus, it helps clear my mind of MEYERS

 

[alexrgct]

Ok, Moriah better be playing too. And we better get 55 wins in a row at barest minimum. And Stewie better use the opportunity to go full steam without the missing superstar Morgan to bolster her case for NPOY awards.

And we better not have any built-in excuses prior to the South Carolina game. Not one. We have three of the five best players in wcbb at least, if not the top three period. We also have seven other kids who are able to contribute. Let's kick some ass and forget some names...on only a temporary basis.

Well, Doc, anything that can do THAT.....

 

[Zorro]

This will undoubtedly give Natalie some more minutes. That part is good. And I can't see Morgan being any worse for a couple of weeks off. She don't rust bad!

 

[Kibitzer]

We have three of the five best players in wcbb. We also have seven other kids who are able to contribute.

Please, make that nine, to be sure to include all players on scholarships.

It's time for Lou to take her newfound confidence and start being a consistent threat. And Napheesa had a good outing last game; time to show she's back to stay. Two future All-Americans need to step up.

 

[ThisJustIn]

Gonna send a big roll of bubble wrap over to the new practice facility....

 

[winlots]

Well, Doc, anything that can do THAT.....

Yo ZORRO - out loud chuckles here on that one. There are a whole lot of times when you hit the nail pretty much on the head. Wife and I would appreciate a PM on you and family. Greetings to them . Stay well - and thanks for the merriment
