Will Ducharme be available for the game to night?

[LoboDays]

Damn, we only win by 30.

 

[CL82]

Wow, I’m surprised. The way Geno made it sound was that she was medically cleared but they chose not to play her out of an abundance of caution. I guess there must be some lingering issue.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Get well soon, Caroline!!

 

[Kevin G]

I really hope she’s doing well.

 

[oldude]

If Caroline was “pissed” when Geno didn’t play her against TN, she’s probably apoplectic about not playing tonight.

What I heard was that she was looking okay but come Sunday morning she was not feeling great thus she was held out of the game.

Boy, it's a good thing we picked up that new strength and conditioning coach in the offseason otherwise where whould we be?

Does that matter if she in fact does have a concussion?

 

[JordyG]

Odd to me that she would need a week off if it's not a concussion.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Centerstream]

This is really bumming me out even though I know that I am not entitled to knowing anything about her medical condition.
She looked so happy and having a ton of fun on the bench during the TN game...

 

[CTisballers]

Maybe they just testing her. She sure been logging on a lot of minutes

 

[LarryLegend]

Glad to see they are exercising utmost caution, at this point hard to believe its not a concussion.

You mean Andrea Hudy, who was at Connecticut from 1999-2004 and was involved with eight national champions?

Yes. And they don't know about the Friday DePaul game either.

I think the poster is referring to the carousel of players missing time. We’ve been rolling with a short rotation for nearly every game. Hence the benefit of conditioning.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Azzi will start in place of Caroline again, so same starters as Sunday's game.

 

[JellyBean]

Those hits to the head are always tricky. Probably keeping her out for another game or so just as a precaution.

 

[LarryLegend]

whats the difference between a “head injury” and a concussion?

 

[CTBballfan243]

This team is just snake bitten by the injury bug. Haven’t ever seen anything like this.

 

[Cuango]

Probably a combination of being super careful with the added benefit of sending a “shot across the bow” message to Paige in advance of her anticipated eagerness to play before they want her to. I imagine that is going to involve a week or two of serious nagging for Geno et al before she finally gets to play. One of the things I really respect and admire about this program is their attention to the overall well-being of the players.

 

[meyers7]

She'll be back. But knowing this year, I'm sure someone else we don't expect will be out.

Well, I was half right...or half wrong.
