Will Azzi Fudd Finally See "Some" Playing Time tonight vs. Xavier?

I’ll be surprised if she returns this season.

She's game to game. She'll be back soon. She participated in the pre-game 5-on-5 for the first time today.

I’ll be surprised if she returns this season.

I think you were being sarcastic, but still your comment is not appreciated, at least not by me.

I noticed that Azzi's parents were at tonight's game, having apparently traveled from the DC area to Cincinnati even though their daughter was not playing. Did they think that perhaps she might play? Or are they just becoming deep-blue UConn fans who want to root for the team, even if it involves a pricey trip?

I’m not being sarcastic. She has a knee injury. Those are serious and at this point it might be safer to hold her for the season than push it unnecessarily.

I’m not sure why her parents being at the game mean anything? They likely already planned on going and injured players parents to games all the time. Doesn’t mean anything other than they support their kid.

She has been cleared. That happened before the Butler game.

Azzi has been cleared for specifics workouts only. That was before the Butler game. She has not been cleared to play in a game.

Part of tonight's pregame conversations was that UConn has specific protocols for injury recovery. No athlete will play until the medical staff clears the player. The coaching staff has no say in the decision. Azzi has not been cleared to play in a game yet.

I believe that Tim and Katie attend nearly every game, whether Azzi is playing or not. Last year, they told me that Katie would be at every game, but Tim might have a conflict with some SJU games he was still coaching. You may know that Katie's parents bought a small house near Storrs, where various family members stay.

I think grandma is living in the house... Not sure who bought it.

She was cleared to resume basketball activities which is not exactly the same as cleared to play in games. I'd love to see her play, but I would bet against it for tonight

I distinctly heard tonight’s TV game announcer Allen Bestwick say that Azzi had not been cleared to play. That’s consistent with my understanding that Azzi was only cleared to resume all basketball practice activities.

I’m guessing that SC30 funds may have bought it.
