UConn vs. Louisville - Game Thread

[semper]

I have to wait 90 seconds between posts. Am I the only one? kinda slows down the flow of the conversation....

Not clear....is this sarcasm, or criticism?

More so frustration and annoyed that it had to be her elbow again.

Hopefully this isn't a serious injury for KML. She was just starting to get her AA level game back. If for some reason this is season ending (not to speculate) as Kara said, their depth could catch up to them.

Sometimes it's easier just to edit your last post. No time limit there. We just have to scroll back to see what you say in your update.

Is that the same injury? Just a different elbow? That's nuts, considering I hadn't even heard of it until she did it the first time.

 

[sawxfan23]

Why is KML so injury prone? This is ridiculous... smh

They were 2 freak accidents. Not much you can do to prevent that.

 

[RoyDodger]

Louisville is very physical. KML looked like she got smashed and no foul was called.

Bria needs to have a big 2nd half and defense needs to play lights out. However, Bria can't try to do too much.

Have to think Geno will go big with Stef, Stewie, Kiah, Bria & Moriah starting the 2nd half.

Kaleena can't catch a break this year. Hope she bounces back quickly.

 

[Santini35]

How could that not have been a foul? She was hammered.

Ref used the "all ball" signal, but didn't seem to notice all of the body contact

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

And no foul called on the play as she clearly got fouled? what did the refs forget?

I agree. It seemed like that Louisville player initiated some excessive contact. That should have been a flagrant 1.

The good news, if there is any, is it is not her shooting arm.

I doubt she returns in the second half.

 

[sawxfan23]

Players need to start protecting their bodies. This is ridiculous.

How should they do that? Wrapping themselves from head to toe in Bubblewrap?

 

[ASweet3781]

So do we have to play the waiting game if there is ligament damage?

 

[Flyegirl]

Ref is blind. How did KML fall backwards if she wasn't touched??

Don't agree with the flagrant 1, but it was a foul with the body. Louisville player came down hard on the ball with the block. The foul was with the body.

I agree. It seemed like that Louisville player initiated some excessive contact. That should have been a flagrant 1.

 

[jennyo70]

Good thoughts for a quick recovery for KML. That was a terrible looking fall and hyper extension. One of those things you hope they will not replay again.

What? It may have been a personal but a flagrant no way in hell!
