Go Huskies!

Sorry to not have her play. You always want to play a full team (even though UCONN isn't)

 

[Zonepress]

Having watched them play multiple
Times there is very little fall off when
She is subbed out

 

[psconn]

I don't see that this makes a huge difference. Betters our odds, yes but still not in our favor.

As always.... Please prove me wrong, team.

SC has plenty of depth, athleticism and height. This won’t move the needle.

Doesn’t make a difference

The forwards who get Cardoso's minutes may be more effective, at least on defense, than Cardoso herself. When I watched Cardoso play in person against Utah at Mohegan Sun a couple of months ago, I thought that Cardoso looked very immobile compared to nearly everyone else on the court -- even Alyssa Pili, who is no gazelle.

SC may not have quite the degree of rim protection that Cardoso would provide, but they should be better able to defend UConn's drives to the basket with the other forwards that they have.

yes, sad to say but it's likely South Carolina will only win by 10 instead of 16 although believe me, a UConn win would make my season.......,.

Quick, athletic guards give us problems and SC has quick, athletic guards. Gonna need to play the perfect game to keep it close. Here's hoping it's a close one!

UConn women's basketball must be in a sad state if some of us are celebrating the fact that an opposing player will miss a regular season game.

Make no mistake, SC has four bench players who are as good as any other sixth woman in the country. If there was ever a team that could do without their leading scorer for one game, it's them.

Only one post celebrated. Certainly wouldn’t classify this as some. In fact most are not celebrating but giving caution that SC has more than enough talent to still beat us handedly.

More than one person expressed a positive sentiment over the news. I appreciate that most didn't. I agree with your assessment.

I sure UConn will go down there and give it their all and see what happens. Win or lose, just play hard and have some fun.

 

[Husky fanatic]

Watkins and Kitts will still out rebound us without her help.

 

[Jumper33]

I know we should want opponents to be at full strength but sorry to say, it kind of makes me feel more optimistic about the game knowing she won’t be there. And they have a boatload of depth anyway.

Of course I’m NEVER relieved to hear an opposing player will be out if it’s because of an injury, but this isn’t that.

 

[Zarathustra]

As it has been said before: " wait until next year"! (and hope for this year).

 

[Nolefan]

Only way we win is if SC forgets to rebound and misses a dozen bunnies

Meh, if we want to get the measure of ourselves we are better off playing them at full strength.

So South Carolina is down a player for the game. UConn is down 5 players. Nothing to celebrate.

I have an idea already, and I don’t want the younger guys spirits to be crushed. The starters were gassed today. They just aren’t getting much help from the bench.

 

[Conndog]

By the start of the 4th quarter, SC has worn their opponents down and start to widen their lead further. UConn has a very short bench. Can’t afford foul trouble. Won’t be easy.
