So then when she came back, this is the best she's looked since she's been at Connecticut.”[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I] It wasn’t the first time Brady suffered a significant injury in college — she missed her entire true freshman season with a knee injury — but this time was different. The absence resonated with Brady far more than before. [/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]“When she was freshmen and she dislocated her knee, she had no idea what she was missing. Zero,” Auriemma said. “Now after playing and having the success that she had last year at the [Big East] Tournament and how much she helped us in the NCAA Tournament, now all of a sudden it goes away and she's devastated.“[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]Brady certainly looked better against Marquette but crucially, this isn’t just an overreaction to one contest. The progress has mostly happened behind-the-scenes, which wasn’t the case last March. [/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]“This is the best conditioned, the best shape she's been in since she got to Connecticut,” Auriemma said.[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] And btw, this is a thread for folks to enjoy the article, as I've previously referenced Geno's comments wrt how Ice has responded after the shoulder injury vs knee. Please do not take this opportunity to bash her for what she has or has not done, season-to-date. [/QUOTE]
