Nika this morning!

[RedStickHusky]

I don't care what the doctor's say

And there you have it.

 

[Bald Husky]

Wow, she is so great. I had nightmares last night. Rest today, tomorrow too. Should wear the boot today. NCAAs here we come. Will miss her against Maddie today.

 

[Skeets]

Spit on it. Really old school.

OK you guys made me laugh. As a little kid, the best medicine was spit on it and rub a little dirt on it. You guys get a "like" for bringing back memories.

!!!!

If I could, I'd give you a million likes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bama fan]

I don't care what the doctor's say, or what Nika tells the coaching staff, it is not worth risking this kids season by playing her today against Villanova. UCONN can easily beat the Wildcats without Nika on the court. Questionable indeed.

And if she did not start who else might get some big minutes today? Might it be AG?

 

[SVCBeercats]

Rub some dirt on it -- old school.

My old school coaches - run it off! Stop Jake'ing! What? You want a pity party? Get out there and produce!

 

[BostonBay]

Geno making a statement by starting Nika today! This team will NOT get pushed around in the playoffs. Tough as nails - unlike the last few UConn teams.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

at minimum the ligaments are weakened and ripe for another ankle turn.

I hope she doesn't hurt herself. And certainly that she doesn't make an injury much worse. Big lead at the half. Let her sit and heal.

 

[Hoops66]

The worst part of this is that there isn't a full house attendance to give her a standing O! You're too much Nika.

Personally, I hope Nika doesn't hurt one of her teammates, the way she flies around the court...

how did she get the shiner?

 

[Littlemin]

No reason not to play Muhl, she has moved naturally since the opening tip. Players play.

Clearly the coaches who are taking over for the passé Geno don't know what they're doing.

If you actually think Geno would risk the health of one of his players in any game, I don’t really know what to say except that your first sentence pretty much says it all. Who would you listen to rather than the Doctor? Doctor; “She’s OK to play”. You; “Well, I disagree, we better sit her til that ankle heals.” Doctor; “What ankle?”

something tells me NM's been watching a lot of European football................curiously not even the hint of a limp today..............

Naaah. If she was emulating that, the moment she hobbled to the bench she would have popped up and ran to the scorers table to check back in.

Agree. Too risky to play her.

 

[donalddoowop]

Coombs had to be helped off the court yesterday with what looked like an ankle injury. She came back and played before the game ended. I was hoping that Nika's injury was no worse than Coombs but I did not expect it to be strong enough to play today. I'm glad it was no worse than it was and Anna still got a chance to play.

Nah... She wouldn't have had to go to the locker room. Just hit it with some of that spray can stuff, get up and play!

Weren't you just saying let the professionals be professionals, and now suddenly you don't care what they say? LOL.

Two bills says it was AE who gave her an elbow to get the shiner!

Bull in a china shop strikes again!

 

[MilfordHusky]

This year's freshmen are really, really tough. Nika is the Croatian Badass!

 

[Shenandoah]

"Bronko" Muhl,(you young un's look up Bronko Nagurski) is one tough kid. She looked like she didn't miss a beat from her injury.

Probably caught an elbow from Autumn !!
